Our neighbors' running bamboo was one reason we were not unhappy to move away from our home in Bronxville. For the 12 years we lived there we struggled constantly to keep their bamboo in check; they were oblivious to our pleas to take control of it. They used their planting as a screen between our properties, but our property was only about 10 feet wide, and the bamboo kept coming up in the middle of it. One fine day it crossed our yard and began coming up in the neighbor's yard on the other side of us. We were the ones who spent the money to sink a metal barrier between us. A perfect example of irresponsible landscaping! View Comment
