"But isn't bamboo terribly invasive?"
Some kinds are. There's over a thousand species of bamboo, though, and many are not invasive - their natural growth habit is to grow in very tight, compact clumps. Those are the types we specialize in at Florida Bamboo. They are very different from the more commonly seen invasive, running types of bamboo. See
Runners vs. Clumpers for a discussion of the differences.
