Default Bamboo tall but not invasive


"ged hickman" wrote in message
...
I would like to plant bamboo as a feature in front of a 6ft high fence at
the back of a border.
Amongst my, perhaps unachievable, wishlists are;
Readily available
I don't want to pay the earth
I'd like it two meters or so high
I would like a non-invasive form
Preferably pretty as well

Any ideas or suggestion most welcome

cheers
Ged


I've 2 phyllostachys nigras both currently about 6 feet tall an have had
them planted in the ground against a fence for the past 2 years.
If there are any worries about bamboo spreading then you can always put a
barrier around it to prevent spread as bamboos aren't too deep rooting.
