I have recently taken down palms and exposed my neighbours very high, overbearing block wall. I need to hide a corner of it. Would this bamboo be suitable for that? I want the height and width but not much depth. Can it be kept back at less than 1m deep? Also I have been told that bamboo is very invasive and to avoid it. Is this variety ok or should I look for something else for the area?

This is a non-invasive variety so, yes, it would do the job nicely.
