Sorry to disagree, but "clumping" bamboo does spread. Started with a 1 foot circle, which grew to a 2 foot circle, to a 4 foot circle, etc. Eventually, had to have it dug out at @ 8 foot diameter. Though it provided privacy, as it expanded it got dirty, messy and became a haven for unwanted critters.
