Clumping bamboo spread very slowly.  They have a pachymorph rhizome system, which means that the underground buds turn upward and become canes immediately, as opposed to the running types which can travel several feet outward, producing canes along the way each season. This causes them to gradually expand outward at a modest and predictable pace. They are considered non-invasive and are very easy to maintain.
