Any ideas why sometimes the black stemmed nbamboo behaves itself perfectly and sits in one place being a nice big clump like it says in the book, and other times why it goes crazy, sending out long hard snakey rhizomes like there's no tomorrow. When I split a piece off from a well behaved clump and planted it somewhere else, it did the crazy thing. Could it have been the stress of transplanting that caused this behavioural disorder?
