Buying a house or concerned about creeper coming under your fence? It could be much worse. I noticed a roaring sale in bamboo plants at our local supermarket a while ago. Surely buying an invasive plant species you should only buy from a reputable source like a garden centre asking how fast does this plant grow? Otherwise every shrubbery could soon come with a lost Japanese soldier.
