I had a neighbor that planted it along the fence. It grew through the fence and sent shoots underground and filled his whole small backyard. The kids couldn’t even walk on the grass anymore because sharp shoots from the bamboo were coming up everywhere. I think I called our association about a dozen times snd the police once when he threatened me for cutting the over the fence parts. I moved before it concluded fortunately. I was always cutting it on my side of the fence and he would get furious. He would say in broken English “youuuu cut my baomboo!
I don’t think this is allowed in the villages. Is it? It’s a nightmare situation if they grow it near your property. There are clumping varieties that don’t spread though too. But grow out of hand still in a place like Florida.
