Not a botanist but an amateur permaculturalist. Bamboo is a super useful plant but like many plants that spread by "rhizomes" (quaking aspen, mint, couch grass etc.) it "takes over", spreading in all directions under the soil and becoming nearly impossible to eradicate once it has gotten established. As a "bonus" bamboo also grows very rapidly and produces the famous woody "poles" that would be "fun" to remove

Which is why it's very invasive in some areas and should not be planted outside of its native range.
