I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out the best way to build an "instant" privacy hedge around my pool. I'm not a gardener, so Bamboo never even entered my mind... Didn't even know they grew it in the US actually (I know realllllly dumb, but I just don't know that much about plants).

Anyway, it seems from the little reading I've done, bamboo could be an awesome choice for me. But can someone recommend a particular type of bamboo that won't totally inundate my pool with leaves? I'm trying to make this as maintenance free as possible. Thanks!
