For the clumping types I doubt it would be a problem, but for the running types like mine yikes! If you plant the running types make sure you have a big place to put them, the people I got the start from said that they bought theirs 5 year ago as a 2 cuttings, and now the patch is about 60 foot long, and 25 or 30 feet high. They had 3 types but I got the golden bamboo from them because I noticed this summer when it was 100 degrees and our state being in drought like conditions, it was still green and healthy looking in their yard with no watering.
