|
I live in San Francisco and I'm thinking of buying bamboo for my backyard, but I'm not sure which species of bamboo are good. Does anyone have a recommendation for where to buy, and what type to buy?

You should also decide if you want a spreading Bamboo or a clumping Bamboo. One you are fighting to keep in one spot, the other clumps and is very well behaved.
