Before anyone gets the idea to plant some bamboo, there are a number of varieties. Some are very invasive, and can grow at the rate of 18 inches per day given enough rain.

Oh, and if you have a next door neighbor who is a Vietnam vet, you just may get some reaction to the sound of the stalks bumping against each other in a breeze.

Early in our marriage, my wife wanted some bamboo along the edge of the yard. :) Nope.
