[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had bamboo for years.  It has not budged one iota of an inch.  We enjoy it.  In fact, the prior owners enjoyed it for about 18 years, also.

Not every kind spreads.  Most types look alike, but there are a gazillion types, OP.  So many people claim to be specialists, which is just crazy.  Observe it yourself and if it does not spread, you have proven it with your own eyes.  If it has, find someone who will remove it in a non toxic manner.  After all, do you want the toxins in your own drinking water, soil, etc.?  How much sense does that make?  Using poison to kill a non toxic plant?

Its like using a nuclear bomb to kill an ant.  [/quote]

But OP is considering buying a house and has no way of knowing what "kind" of bamboo it is and doesn't want to discover AFTER buying the house that, yep, it's the kind that's impossible to get rid of.

Some people like to have an open yard or even a garden.  As so many PPs point out, bamboo is hard to get rid of and requires a lot of ongoing effort even when you get it under control.

It's great that you like yours.  But if someone doesn't like bamboo, it's hard to get rid of.  That's the issue.  [/quote]
