Watch this inspiring YouTube video about bamboo, a plant I love.
For those of you lacking patience, plant Buddha's Belly bamboo. It is remarkably fast-growing and will take over a corner or anywhere else in the garden in a year or two (it is also beautiful in pots, in fact pots make the shoots curl and twist in remarkable patterns)...but it is CLUMPING (in terms of its root system), so can be controlled by pruning new shoots around the edges.
Avoid planting RUNNING bamboo anywhere near your home or pool or anything else you wish to remain standing. Running bamboo (such as the beautiful Black Bamboo) can extend its roots as far as 2 miles or more (yes!) and break through concrete, cause walls to collapse, break pipes, damage foundations, etc.
Bamboo is beautiful but it is strong and it lives longer than we do, so treat it with love and respect! (Gardening is one of my greatest passions.)
