Thanks! I’ve read reports online about bamboo growing in North America, and didn’t know if it was actual bamboo or the knotweed we have growing in our parts. It’s coming from our neighbour’s yard who seem to have taken a laissez-faire approach to their yard management. We’re extremely careful not to let it fracture since, as you know, that spurs additional growth. In the hard to reach parts behind the shed, I did put down landscaping fabric with rocks over it. After being diligent with new shoots in the early spring, it slows down significantly come the summer and fall.
