The Central Westmoreland Council of Governments was asked to weigh in by two neighbors of Myra Posner of Mount Lebanon.
Posner grows bamboo outside of her home-based Bamboo Grove Yoga Studio in Mount Pleasant. She says the plants help create a soothing atmosphere.
But the neighbors who complained say the bamboo stalks invade their yard, attract birds and smack against their house.
They wanted the council to enforce a 10-inch limit for grasses. But council says that limit doesn't apply because bamboo can be eaten by humans.
