Perspective: Common, or should I say too common, bamboo is causing havoc, displacing other plant life, not edible and is difficult to control.
Useful solution: Grow bamboo as tall and straight and/or shape bamboo’s growth as desired. Cut to length, drill out center. Inject insulating plastic foam filling in center of bamboo.
Bamboo then can be used for building materials. Strong, inexpensive, durable, light and decorative.
