WANTED: Recommendations for clumping bamboo

Shannon and Raja
10 years ago

Trying to get coverage of bare sections of fence (southern) that currently have wax myrtle and live oak and palm trees. Space is narrow about 6 feet between edge of pool raised wall and wood fence. I dont want to add more wax myrtles and thought that clumping bamboo might be a good idea but I am afraid that even clumping bamboo might invade the neighbours year underneath the fence. Is there a way to prevent such potential invasion? Any recommendations for varieties of clumping bamboo that will remain under 20' tall?
Thanks
