Neighbor Mount Pleasant, PA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Jul 16, 2008 Judged: 1 Again....WOW!! I have to (also) look at this bamboo everyday and it is not anywhere near what the complaining neighbors describe. It doesn't even touch their home and is kept maintained. Bamboo roots (unlike trees) grow horizontal and would not grow into the neigbors yard...so I've been informed. The nosey neighbors need to stop their boo hooing and focus on their own lives.
