I take that back, plastid would probably work, but I don't think rubber would. Here is a link to a barrier you can buy for bamboo. http://www.bamboogarden.com/barrier.htm

Bambusa is a clumping type(non-invasive) of bamboo and makes excellent arrows. Depending on where you live some bamboos may not be hardy in your area. Bambusa is good through hardiness zone 8. Pat
Auggie:
Thanks for the input. Bambusa will do okay in zone 5 Im sure. Any idea how tall it grows? Anyone heard of horsetail rush,equisetum hymale? I think it is also called pygmy bamboo. Also found a phyllostachys japonica,arro bamboo used in japan.

Like Pat said get a clumping type which is not invasive. Plastic liners will only work ifn ya go down 3' around the plant.Some of the invasive are very pretty . Nurseries and foks in the business use a 3 ' wide piece of flashing all around the plant and sink it into the ground till just the top shows about 1" er so. Like said it spreads sthru a root rhizome and will take over like ya never seen :o >:(......bob
Coo-wah-chobee:
Bamboo grows all over the world in different climates hot an cold, except the artic of course. Do a internet search fer it and ya will see many kinds..........bob
