Bamboo Restrictions
Farmington Hills does NOT have a dedicated running-bamboo containment ordinance. Bamboo plantings, including running varieties like Phyllostachys aureosulcata and Phyllostachys nigra, are not categorically prohibited by the Farmington Hills Code. However, Chapter 17 (Nuisances) addresses noxious vegetation and overgrowth that can be applied to bamboo that spreads onto neighbor properties or into the public right-of-way. Chapter 11 (Fences) governs property-line fencing where rhizome barriers may be installed. State law (Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act - NREPA Part 413, Invasive Species) regulates certain prohibited invasive plants but does not currently list common landscape bamboo species. Bamboo-rhizome-spread disputes are most commonly resolved as private nuisance / trespass claims under Michigan common law.
