Do Just One Thing
It's common knowledge that planting non-native bamboo in your yard can create ecological problems, from blocking natural light and crowding out native plants to damaging foundations and spreading into areas where it doesn't belong. But if you do plant bamboo, look for varieties labeled "clumping" rather than "running." Running bamboo spreads through long underground roots and can be nearly impossible to contain. Clumping bamboo, on the other hand, expands slowly in tight clusters, so it stays where you plant it.
