Cherry Laurel or Arrow Bamboo?

I have both bamboo (2 types as far as I can tell) and cherry Laurel.  I have had to remove a couple of clumps of the bamboo due to it running but most of it is still OK.  This was all established when I moved in ~9 years ago.  I like the look of the bamboo but would recommend you keep an look out for runners if you plant it.  The runners we found were VERY long (20 feet+ in one case) and you have to get them all out to stop it re-sprouting.

Thank You.

If I plant Cherry Laurel or Bay Laurel which is the fastest grower?

Regards,

Depends on site, down here on mostly clay Bay does better growth rates 90% of the time in the first few years.

Surprised by that, have a bay in the garden on clay & its slow growing compared to thoose ubiqitous  cherry laurel hedges that all seem to  grow like crazy.

 

Least there not as bad as leylandi though i suppose as a hedge.
