Bamboo is an invasive species. I once owned a house in Costa Rica and my gardener told me that he had planted a single row of bamboo years ago. When I told him to cut it back, we found it had grown over 6 feet thick along one side of my property. Every week he had to chop out new growth in the orchard of fruit trees or it would have been overran. It took me two years to finally chop its new growth. Don’t need chemicals, just chop the sprouts.
Bottom line, ONLY plant bamboo in containers. You and your neighbors will be much happier.
