tx_flower_child said:@PlantMania - Are you familiar with bamboo and how it grows? Yes, it's evergreen and a fast grower. And I love how it looks. But it is known to spread like crazy and requires vigilance to keep it in check. If your neighbors aren't growing bamboo now, they probably will be if you plant it.

It's even used to block the side of my neighborhood shopping center. You might drive (or walk) around your area to see if others are growing it.
