Bamboo is not a native plant, so when it grows, it has runners that go underground and before you know it, can take over your entire yard and it is very very hard to get rid of. I have heard that if you want a bamboo forest, put a very deep cement trench around it so it will not escape.
Other options that grow quickly are Leland Cypress….they grow tall, stay green and won’t take over your whole yard.
