Its depends where you live and what type of Bamboo you would like. Running bamboo is invasive and has to be installed properly into ground with barriers or in Containers. Clumping bamboo is not invasive but takes little longer to fill out. I get mine from local nurseries. I personally like Laurel- either Portuguese as it has very nice red shoots or English Laurel.
