| My neighbor wants to plant bamboo. I am really nervous about it because they're not really passionate gardeners and don't understand things like invasive plants. I know that there are some kinds of bamboo that don't spread; usually called clumping bamboo.
But I've never been interested in bamboo myself and don't know much about it. Any places in the NY area that you can recommend for clumping bamboo that might grow about 6 feet high or so and that won't spread? My neighbors are really nice people and I'd like to help them out anyway, but if I can find them some nice bamboo that won't spread, it will help both of us!
Our area is actually a little bit warmer than the zone 7 rating - it's protected on all sides and so bamboo that might be considered more tender may still grow here.
I have offered them some roses of course.
Thanks. |
