Ripped from the article
( Types of bamboo that do well in this mid-Atlantic climate include
Fargesia murielae and Fargesia nitida, both "running" bamboo. Running
means that the main stem sends out underground roots several feet long
from which new shoots come up. )

Good comment but maybe too concise for some. The fargesias cited are
clumping bamboo, not runners.
