Bamboo

Anybody had any experience with this. My t'other half fancied one on the deck so we went and got one yesterday. We really don't know much about them. Got some advice from the nursery chap but any other comments would be welcomed.

 

what kind is it?
they behave so differently, some spread like wild fire, other clump forming varieties are very sedate.

 

Sorry, didn't get the name of it, but think it's the clump forming variety.
