It's crazy how fast bamboo grows. A friend of mine planted a bunch of it around his fence because on the back side the lights from the baseball fields were shining on his property. 2 years later, you can only see the fuzzy glow of lights behind the bamboo. Some of it can grow up to 4 inches per day sometimes more with an over abundance of fertilizer and water.

Ever seen the mythbusters episode where they test the myth that they used to torture people but tieing them down over growing bamboo plants and it would literally push slowly through the body. crazy.

No, but after I witnessed how fast, tall, and strong it grows I could only imagine. It can be quite invasive.
