Bamboo Restrictions
Hernando County (and therefore Spring Hill) does NOT have a bamboo-specific ordinance. Bamboo (Phyllostachys spp., Bambusa spp.) is not on the FDACS Florida Noxious Weed List (Rule 5B-57.007) and is not on the Florida Invasive Species Council (FISC, formerly FLEPPC) Category 1 or 2 invasive list, so it is not banned by state or county law. However, the THREE major Category 1 invasives prohibited statewide for sale/transport/planting under FDACS regulation - Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), Australian pine (Casuarina species), and melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) - are restricted in Hernando County landscaping and development plans. Cross-property bamboo spread is a private common-law nuisance matter under Florida law. UF/IFAS Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants explicitly cautions against planting running bamboo in Florida.
