Bamboo Question!?

I know bamboo can be an invasive nightmare...however, I heard there is a type which grows at a slow rate and doesn't spread roots like the traditional type. Does anyone know what this would be?

Bamboo Question!?
It's called Clumping Bamboo

Reply:There are hundreds of wonderful clumping bamboo that are totally NON-invasive. They can be from a few feet high to over a hundred feet. Most of those clumpers are from the family Bambusa and Dendrocalamus. They do tend to to be rather tropical and if you live in a cooler zone than 9, you will probably need to go with the family Phyllostachys, which IS a runner and would need to be watched
