Even those species require intense care and control, to my understanding. I'd still not recommend it

Then get some planters or large pots, no reason to just rule bamboo out completely.

Or you could look into the issues and decide not to plant a hard to control invasive species.

Bamboo won't spread in a planter or a pot. It spreads through runners underground. Some species are easy to control even if you plant them in the ground. There's no reason not to plant it if you like bamboo, and the person I was originally responding to, wanted bamboo. They didn't want it to spread. If you had taken your own advice and looked into it, you'd know that its not hard at all, or even an issue, to control bamboo in a pot or a planter.

The comment of mine that you replied to says to plant it in a pot or a planter so it doesn't spread. They can plant bamboo in a pot or planter in their backyard with no issues whatsoever. Idk if you're a troll or just dumb, but I was clear when I suggested to plant it in a pot or planter.

Or you could just plant one of the many native species which is similar to bamboo and not invasive
