Advice on Bamboo Plants around pond
There is a 4.7 metre long 12" gap between my sleeper pond and the fence so I was thinking of planting bamboo in the gap.
I've read the various horror stories about invasive bamboo chewing up pond liners so I'm thinking about buying a clumping type and half burying a row of window boxes between the pond and fence in order to contain the roots.
Only thing is there are so many hundreds, if not thousands of types of bamboo I'm lost with what to buy.
Looking for something that's attractive as a back-drop to the pond and will be successful in of 20cm deep window boxes (each box is 90cm long and 21cm wide) and grow neatly to a maximum of around 2 - 2.5 metres tall.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of clumping bamboo would fit this scenario best?
Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.
