I live in Port St. Lucie, Fl and I am looking for some clumping bamboo for a
hedge. I will drive up to 75 miles to get it, I will even dig it myself and
pay you for it. I would like to have Hedge bamboo or Alphonse Karr bamboo
but it is not necessary.

A barrier system is not necessary with clumping bamboo's. Rhizomes DO
NOT run sideways with clumping bamboos and only spread a few inches
per year. From what I understand runners do not do well in Florida.

Check out the Florida/Carribean chapter of the American Bamboo
Society. http://www.tropicalbamboo.org/
