One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

Nathan and Amanda and I installed bamboo "containment" today above the GCA Circle in the Asian Collections
To prevent "running bamboos" from taking over the garden and then the world, you can install a heavy plastic barrier. First we dug a trench 2" shorter than the liner (~32"). Then we inserted the liner leaving 2" exposed above ground to prevent surface runners from escaping. Next we backfilled the trench leaving an opening to bolt on the binding strap that connects the two ends. Tomorrow we will finish back-filling and plant.
