| My in-laws would like to plant some bamboo in a shady spot in their backyard, as a privacy fence between their neighbors behind them. The area is about 10 ft wide. I'm pretty sure it's a lot of clay, as it used to be under an above-ground pool.
They're in 19135 zip in Northeast Philadelphia...I would appreciate any advice on where they could purchase bamboo for this area, which variety would be best...etc... Thanks!

| There are a number of bamboo that would work for that purpose. But do they care whether it's running or clumping bamboo? Running bamboo will fill out a hedge more quickly, but will need either an in-ground carrier or maintenance after several years to keep it from spreading into unwanted places. Clumping bamboo will not run, but each clump will slowly expand in diameter over time. |
