My best friend lives in Cedar Park and her husband planted bamboo as a
"privacy screen" by their bedroom 5 years ago.

I told him baaaaad idea.

They were soon mowing bamboo out of their lawn - 20 feet away. It was
supposed to be a "non-running" type. They have tried every herbicide
possible, concrete, digging it out, depriving it of water, even setting it
on fire with gasoline.

I still get the I-told-you-so's in every year.. Ha ha!

hahaha!!

I know there's truth there, but that's pretty funny I have wondered if
the non-running type would grow in Cedar Park... on 6 inches of crappy
soil over caliche ?

How fast does it grow? I really need a fast-growing privacy screen.
