Invasive bamboo

Does anyone know if this verity of bamboo is invasive?

 

It says its a large clumpforming bamboo

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fargesia_murieliae

So isnt it one that sends out runners all over the place :-)

 

The best bamboo (IMO) for clump forming (i.e. not running wild) is Nigra, and it is also the best looking

As has been said above, this is a clumping bamboo, so shouldn't cause problems

The seed needs to be fresh to germinate.

 

Muriel bamboo flowered many years ago, so the seed will not be 'fresh'
I was lucky enough to have had the sense to collect the seed at the time, and I have a passageway through the bamboo to the Tea Garden. It won't flower again for about 80 to 100 years
This is the bamboo at the time of planting. It is now about 10 feet tall
