Certified ExpertA.Since they are, both, quite invasive... I think that they can coexist, peacefully. Just give some space between them. 5 feet, if you can, but they should be able to grow in proximity, with both having invasive properties.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, we do not sell or offer information on where to purchase any products. We only offer free gardening information. I would try your local nurseries, or online nurseries.
What I can do is provide you our collection of articles on bamboo plants:

Certified ExpertA.They need large containers with several drainage holes. The roots grow fast, so it is important to keep upgrading the container to accommodate the roots. The article below recommends a 25- to 30-gallon size such as a wine barrel. Here is more:

Certified ExpertA.I looked at several articles and by clicking on the name under the photo, I was taken to the site where we purchased the photo. None of the ones I checked gave the variety name of the bamboo. You can try that too with the image you liked.
This article gives variety names and you can copy and place them in a search bar to see what they look like and you might find a pleasing variety.

Certified ExpertA.This one will be a question for your local law enforcement or council. Killing plants on your side can be legal, but if that damage makes its way across the property line... It can lead to legal troubles.
It is best to deal with this through the proper channels. Your local government agency, extension service, or agricultural branch will be of better help in this situation.

June 26, 2022Q.What Is The White Color Climbing Up From The Bottom Of My Bamboo?
It does NOT look like bugs of any kind, but the culms are turning white at the bottom. The entire plant is about 6 years old nd 30 ft high. We have had to trim out the smaller culms to keep it from invading the neighbors yeard. We have also put the polypropelene plastic around 3 sides of the patch. The whitening just began but it moves quickly. I am giving it plenty of water, but it appears to be drying up. Is there anything I can do to save it?

Certified ExpertA.Is the whiteness soft/fuzzy or is it coming from the interior of the stalk? If it's black bamboo and it's turning white, it could be that new branches are trying to replace the older ones, and the ones that are turning whitish are ready to be trimmed out.
This may help:

June 30, 2022Q.Herbicide For Last Of Rhizomes Under Sidewalk?
I have removed bamboo and rhizomes to the best of my ability. A rhizome(s) is still growing under a nearby sidewalk that cannot be removed. What herbicide will kill the little shoots as they emerge at the side of the sidewalk and between the cracks? I've tried vinegar and boiling water to avail. Thanks kindly, Kim

Certified ExpertA.An herbicide with glyphosate should work. You might even go for the brush killer herbicide. Be sure to read and follow all label directions.
