Can you spot the problem here? Picture is some of my running bamboo collection in concrete culvert planters.

You have a rogue shoot, that sucks.

I just planted two Bambusa Oldhamii in my backyard. In three years they will be 18 metres (59 feet in Freedom Units) tall and the culms will be 4-6 inches in diametre.

They are clumpers not runners

Yep! Awesome. What zone are you in? We're zone 8b and most clumpers can't take a hard freeze.

No idea what zone I am in as I am in SE Australia, but to give you an idea, we have a very long, hot and dry Summer like Texas but our Winters are nowhere near as cold. We barely get below freezing overnight in Winter.

Its a dry Mediterranean climate
