QuestionWhat is invasive bamboo?Community AnswerUnless you are planting bamboo in the countries where it naturally grows, it is considered an "invasive" plant. Depending where you live, it may be illegal to plant non-native species, precisely because they are invasive. Bamboo is a grass. It propagates by sending out "runners." Once planted, it quickly takes over the environment. Fences, etc., will not stop it from spreading to your neighbor's lawns. Please check your local and state laws before planting bamboo or any other non-native species outdoors.
