Non-Invasive Bamboo – What Bamboo Does Not Spread?
We often hear that people say bamboo is so invasive. This doesn’t go for every kind of bamboo though. Learn which bamboo doesn’t spread!

Phyllostachys Rubromarginata or the Red Margin Bamboo is a highly sought after, cold tolerant, extremely fast growing, running species.

Phyllostachys Humilis is one of the smallest bamboos in the genus Phyllostachys only growing 7-15 feet tall and a maximum of 1 inch in diameter.
Phyllostachys Aureosulcata Spectabilis
This rare collector bamboo is not generally available for sale. Phyllostachys Aureosulcata has yellow culms (or canes/stocks) that have a green strip and green leaves providing gorgeous contrast.
Phyllostachys Aureosulcata Yellow Groove
The Yellow Groove is a great option for cold areas that want a decorative privacy screen. The cane of this bamboo is light green with light yellow stripes and has a rough texture.
Pseudosasa Japonica Arrow Bamboo
Arrow Bamboo is unique for lots of reasons, one being that the Japanese literally use to make arrows out of this plant! A great option for those looking for a screen that’s not “too” high, it generally grows between 8-18 feet.
Phyllostachys Aurea Koi
This collector bamboo has an extremely strange appearance caused by the plants nodes being stacked randomly. The cane color is yellow with green stripes.
