I know that little nursery on South Blvd had some last year. It's on the east side of South Blvd. just south of Tremont... can't remember the name of the place but they have some sweet Bonsai plants too.
Be very careful when selecting bamboo as a screen, many variants colonize aggressively and may well grow where you (or your neighbor) don't want them. They are very difficult to eradicate when they get to that stage also. I would recommend NEVER planting them near a property line, lest you give your neighbor the headache of continued bamboo policing.
There is one method I have seen that supposedly helps keep the less invasive types of bamboo under better control. You dig a trench and line w/ industrial strength plastic, then plant the bamboo, and fill the trench. This, of course, has to be a very large trench, LOL!

You'd need a backhoe to dig a trench in this clay!!

In fact, that is what they used in the tv segment I saw!!! Totally correct, CHI!! I should have mentioned that . . . yep . . . we are talking a really big trench. . .
Don't know where you're located, but there is a place on Lawyers Rd just off of 485 that sells it - they have a forest of it around the place.
Was this plants or just the cut bamboo?
DH saw an ad on craigslist for just the cut bamboo-some guy in Kings mountain-$20 for a truck load but had to cut it yourself and I think it might be a bit much for him on his own.
He may get some to do the job, but I like the idea of the breeze swishing through the bamboo plants.
I know that some are very fast growing and invasive.
I think theres a store in Concord Mills. I've heard that these plants are very invasive, their roots go a long way. I've heard it's best to plant them in a controlled pot.

BTW -what's a backhoe-some sort of power digger?
If I remember correctly the sign says cut and live plants. I'll ask my daughter to check it out, she drives past it every day on her way to work.
A back hoe is a big piece of machinery that makes digging big trenches possible! Basically a really big tractor, with a "bucket" with teeth on a long, articulated arm, that does an awesome job of digging.
