Re: Re: re: Bamboo

Zem,
Many Fargesias are hardy to zone 5 and are a clumping or mountain
bamboo. There are several good species and a large number of cultivars
you can try. A good source with decent pricing is Tradewinds Bamboo.

clearly labeled as either clumping or spreading. The spreading kind is
downright hostile if living in a jungle is not what you want, though, so
be doubly sure! :-)

LOL!  Good idea.  I've thought about some of the wild bamboo that grows 
around here, but I know that in no time I'd be living in a forest of it.

If you have weeds, you don't have enough plants.
