Well things are looking a little better with the leaves, but the grand news is that i've got a new shoot coming out and its nearly 2 foot in less than a week..... is this fast growing normal?

Finally, i am rather worried about this talk of invasive bamboo and would like to take some precautions.(although led to believe black bamboo is less of a tyrant) Could i but some perspex sheeting in the ground where i dont want the bamboo to invade? At least a couple of feet from where the base currently is. If this is possible, how deep would the perspex have to go down?

Many Thanks

Mick
