- Surely bamboo deserves a bit more of respect and acceptance
- than the last posting indicates.
- I am not a botanist but I believe there are at least two
- main types: one of them grows in clumps and does not spread
- and the other type does send runners and spread.
- Also I have seen clumps of bamboo numerous times in gardens
- throughout North America and never heard that it poses
- a serious threat as far as taking away nutrients from
- nearby plants. In fact a great variety of plants do
- grow around bamboo.
