My neighbor just today got multiple very large bamboo plants and is setting them up along our fence line.

Every specifies identifier is telling me something different so I’m coming to you.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s invasive and how quickly I’d need to get a root barrier installed. Thank you!

(We are in Northern California near Sacramento if that affects your answer)

UPDATE: they’ve been planted in the ground. I went to their house to speak but no one answered, and I saw a For Sale sign. (I’m never on that side of the street so I didn’t know) I called the realtor and she said the owner has left the state and the owner hired a landscaper to do this. She thinks it is clumping but is going to connect the seller with me to talk.
