Still dont want it growing anywhere near me though.. haha
Why not? they look relaxing to look at while swaying on a windy day. You'd only hate them in clusters and when they mature (they creak loud). Also fun if you want to own a katana and just pretend to train around them?
Cause once they get established they are really hard to get rid of. Maybe when I own many acres I can have some in a corner I dont mind. But having them close to home your just asking for them to overrun your house.
They do look nice, and I do like hanging out in Bamboo forests but if I had to remove it, that just pure hell.
Hah I got to try that with a sword sometime.
I see, I never looked at it that way. I lived in the rural mountains and didn't see having bamboo surrounding your house was a bad thing other than having a storm brewing near. They have a lot of use case for furniture, coal, and food source from the shoots so removing them wasn't a chore but treated as a livelihood.
Delicious bamboo shoots... not sure if all bamboo species are good to eat though.
Good luck on creating that bamboo forest, you can probably open a small place to get the same experience for tourists wanting to try making their own chopsticks and cook on bamboo too.
