QuestionHi!
this question is about the heavenly bamboo plant. We have about 3 shrubs by our fence (we bought a new house and these were already present). Is there any information on whether this bush is a known troublemaker as regards invasive roots or its roots destroying/damaging/loosening the fence? the bushes are 5-6 ft tall.
thanks for your help!

Looks like it sure is onvasive but I didn't see anything about it destroying fences or anything.
I hope this answers all your questions and feel free to askme again. Please consider the following if you would

My wife is selling Avery Type labels that will allow you to stick onto packages and record the data of seeds that you may be sending to somebody or that you may be taking from a garden, even your own. The label allows for data like Name, Sun, Type (Perennial, Annual,etc), Planting Depth, Seed Year and where you got them. We are selling them for $4.00 Canadian or $3.00 American for 60 labels. Shipping is included. Provincial Tax only if you live in Ontario. Great for you or for a gift to another gardener.
