Bamboo

Is all bamboo evergreen or just certain varieties? I'd like to grow some tall e/green plants in a narrow border but I heard some bamboo can take over - any suggestions?

Thanks SteveW... I'm a bit concerend though - I won't get hoardes of pandas invading my garden will I....

 

you can always have the shoots in a fry up after a hard days wok :D

 

Very funny....get your coat, lol!

 

If you're worried about pandas put jars of chicken tonite around the plants, its works the same way as feeding slugs oatmeal! :D

Thanks for that tip Revin helen, I'll get some chicken tonight when I buy the bamboo...

Incidentally while we're here, will grease stop bears climbing the drainpipes?
