I have new banana plants (true blue java and mysore from a member on the form) in that area and am worried that the banana and bamboo roots will compete for space. The banana plants were both root bound in pots and recently planted in the ground. I’d like to move them if need be before the roots get settled into their new home.

Apologizes if this isnt the correct area to post this question.

Thanks!
All the previous posts are correct.
This plant will outgrow and overgrow anywhere you plant it.
The plant locally will push through 3 inches of asphalt...And I mean your driveway.

While the plant is awesome there are better alternatives..
