I would recommend Pseudosasa Japonica. It is quite fast-growing,
8-10
feet tall, slim green culms and mid-sized leaves (around 8-10"). It
is also one of the best bamboos for growing in moderately
waterlogged
soils (most dislike "wet feet"). It can become invasive but you can
prevent this by sinking hard plastic sheet 9-12" deep around the
bamboo at planting time (or use cut-off plastic drums etc).
As a matter of interest, does this barrier technique cause the plants
problems in later life on this small scale? I ask because they are
pretty much surface-rooting, and wonder if they get overcrowded and
short of nutrition.

Many Thanks for your advice Christina.
Regards Rick.
