Spreading? - How do you keep the bamboo from spreading to your neighbors and everywhere else? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
seyshellies I had black bamboo planted on the sides of my yard for privacy about 8 years ago. It has begun to spread all over my backyard and I don't know what to do. I live in Los Angeles. This house is in the San Fernando Valley. It's becoming a huge problem. I've attached 2 photo's. The bamboo when originally planted around 2004 and then a second pic from around 3 years ago. I need help! Not sure who to reach out to. Any suggestions?

Habitat Design Black bamboo is a runner and needs to have a bamboo barrier when planted to keep it contained. I say this for future readers as you already know this!

Call Bamboo Giant - they are in Northern California but will tell you exactly what to do. There may also be an equivalent company that specializes in bamboo nearer to you.

I was also thinking maybe we could incorporate bamboo in our design. Maybe if we use a fence we could edge a side of the fence with bamboo for more privacy, or maybe we could edge the electric car charging station/parking. The bamboo will serve as a screen and then it could be used like at halka to tie up the veggies in the garden that need support. The bamboo could be cut down once a year in the late winter/early spring, and there would be fresh stalks every year. T the only problem would be keeping it from"running"/growing in areas we don't want it to grow, but since we have the farm site I don't think the maintenance of it would be a big deal. - Christina

Alphonse Karr Bamboo is a clumping bamboo, making it much more manageable and less invasive in the garden. Running bamboo, on the other hand, sends its rhizomes in many directions before sending up new shoots. It can easily take over the garden and needs to be physically contained.
