Bamboo Restrictions
The City of Noblesville does not have a bamboo-specific ordinance, and bamboo is NOT on the Indiana Terrestrial Plant Rule (312 IAC 18-3-25) list of regulated invasive plants. Indiana's TPR (effective April 18, 2020) prohibits sale, gift, barter, exchange, distribution, transport, or introduction of 44 listed invasive plant species, but no Phyllostachys (running bamboo) species are on the list. Running bamboo is recognized by the Indiana Invasive Species Council as an aggressive non-native, but planting and sale remain legal. Cross-property spread is a private common-law nuisance issue under Indiana law. Noblesville's Tree Board administers the city's tree care framework but does not maintain a residential invasive-plant prohibition.
