As far as neighbors, that wont be a problem. Like I said, no one is behind me or across from me.
I'd want to plant the bamboo or other hedge only along the back for privacy and a wind break for my bananas. Since they started tearing the forest down the wind has really picked up.

Regardless of what I end up planting... do you think the roots from the hedge will have a negative impact on banana growth?

Also here's an updated picture of the damage.
I know someone in central Fl that did this with Mulberry they made a real thick hedge you can not see or walk through. If you can find someone with these mulberry trees you can get many cuttings. and in a year you would see a nice start
