Would you buy a house with bamboo in the backyard?

No don’t do it. I have a friend who bought a house with bamboo yard. She once told me that if she could do it all over again, she would never buy a house with bamboos. It’s impossible to keep them from spreading and taking over.

Yes. Couldn't care less. It's easy to get rid of. Several homes in my area cut it down and replaced it. Not a big deal.

You can't just cut it down. You have to dig down deeply and get all the roots, or it just comes back. It takes big equipment. Then you have to shield your yard because it spread to your neighbor's and you don't want it spreading back. It is a very big deal.

Why would you post about something you clearly know nothing about? Please stop that.

My home has non-invasive bamboo in the side yard. We've lived here 16 years and it hasn't spread.

Investigate the type before you decide.

of course. it can be mediated. If I found a house I really wanted, I would have the wherewithal to deal with bamboo for sure.

My neighbors have bamboo. Occasionally I will see a shoot maybe once a year. I pull it out, done. People down the street whole side was bamboo. They chopped it to just below ground, seeded and it hasn’t come back. They mow it I’m sure. Non issue.

Lol, your own post describes how it is invasive, spreads to neighbors, and can't be easily removed. You made the opposite point of the one you intended.

We had a neighbor with bamboo—whenever it came up in our yard, the dog would pull it up. I think he was pleased we had a stick garden. If he missed one, I would just chop it and let the kids play swords with it. It was not a major headache. The neighbors eventually dug it up.
