I was hoping that I could get some advice on what type of bamboo would be best. I have a small patio in SF (not sure what zone this would be) that has a large wall (~15' high) that I would like to mask with bamboo. Since it is a small patio and already doesn't get much sunlight, I would like to have as little canopy as possible. Additionally, I do not want it "bushy" to encroach on my small patio. Any advice? Is there also a way that it should be maintained to achieve the desired effect? Thanks for any input!

Some of you saw my request for bamboo advice for my patio. I was planning on making a planter box for it and I was hoping a bamboo master would tell me if this would be suitable. I found these tongue and groove cedar panels from Home Depot (online) that come in a set of 4. I would like the box as narrow as possible but don't know what would be appropriate for a thin row of bamboo. Would 1 foot be too narrow? The panels are 2'x4' so i was going to use two of them for the length, cut one down to 1' for each end, and the other for the bottom. Then I would put barrier inside around the perimeter of the box.
Here's the link.... http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=202356793&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&MERCH=REC-_-product-2-_-202356778-_-202356793-_-N&locStoreNum=1041&marketID=21
Do you guys think the dimensions (1' D x 2' H x 4' L) would be appropriate to achieve a grow height of around 15' with possibly Temple variety in SF, CA?

I want to thin my P. aureosulcata (5 yo). What's the best time for thinning culms? Now during fall? Or better during spring?

Just wish she had shown up sooner my Thamno seems to be some sort of grasshopper delicacy

So, I wanted to get a few more kinds of bamboo. A couple clumpers. But the very nice guy who sold me the Alphonse I have has some black bamboo for sale.
I looked up trenches and read what various people had to say. Then(I'm not a newbie that wants to be spoon fed) I looked up 'barrier' and got this message:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: barrier.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.
Please link me to a few threads so I can read up about how to contain a runner. Thank you
