Default There may be a way...

Thinking that there has to be a way it is controlled in certain areas I went looking and quickly found this link. All may not be lost, if you really want bamboo... looks like you can get a type that does not "run".

http://bamboo.home.texas.net/control.html

I would be careful though, I have had more than one landscape nursery give me bad information about the properties of the plantings I was buying.

P.S. The article states that the shoots are "fragile"... the ones my neighbor had were not, they were dangerous!
