Thanks for the advice. The bamboos that we have a
fargesia nitida 'Jiuzhaigou'
fargesia robusta
phyllostachys glauca,
phyllostachys aureosulcata f. spectabilis
phyllostachys nigra
The area is about three metres by eight metres with lawn in front and a field fence (and stumps) behind. It's some distance from the house and in a landscape that won't be overwhelmed by the final scale of some of these.
Can I restrain the possibly rampant phyllostachys by kicking down encroaching culms (as I have been told) or is that ineffective? Barriers?
Thanks
Laura
