Does Dendrocalamus asper Grow Well in Florida?

I've read D. asper does well in Florida. I'm looking for something to completely overwhelm (thick and tall) a lot I have in Lake Placid Florida (zone 9b). Something invasive and aggressive that does not easily die. My soil is sandy and often moist. Something so dense it would be hard to penetrate. Anything that grows well and fast from seeds? If not Dendrocalamus asper, how about Bambusa vulgaris?

⭐ Best Answer:

Bambusa vulgaris would be the better choice, much faster spread. I take it you have neighbor issues? You are in luck that I have the starts you will need as well. I am in Fort Pierce Florida. No charge, but you will need a saw.
