There's something like 1000 species of bamboo. Pretty much all of them grow fast (thus the twice-yearly chop of our "privacy screen"), but not all of them are invasive, as their reputation suggests. The one next door rarely shoots from the bottom, and then generally from within its existing stand. Most sky-rocketing shoots come from existing trunks. It's a bugger to cut (mostly because I have to climb up the top of our two-story roof and lean over the side to get some, and stand on top of the 6' wall to cut from below), but it's thankfully not one where you have to trench it to keep it in place.

I'm tired.
Anyway, you can never expect Adrian and the rest to be around when there's work to be done that doesn't involve powertools, weaponry, explosive or fire.
Cheers,
Marc (but it
is all a rich tapestry
