Bamboo for Gardens - Which is best for you?

So if you are looking for a screen, privacy that grows quick - Clumping bamboo is the answer.

But... no two bamboos are the same... so first things first you need to figure out which type is right for you - as we are a big believer in "the right plant for the right spot". The best way to decide is to think through 3 main questions:

  1. What height do you want it to grow to?
  2. What is the Landscape use?
  3. What shape do you like?

If you go to our Bamboo Shop page you can help search with these terms. Follow the selection boxes and choose the items that best fit your needs. This should help to reduce down the options for you and you will be able to make some choices from there.

Next consideration is how big you want them when you plant them... or what your patience level is at. We always recommend buying to your budget, and instead of needing mature plants, spend a little time to prep the soil and put in a simple irrigation system that will allow your plants to grow faster once they are in.

Species of bamboo do differ, but generally the pot sizes are:

So.... if you are still really unsure, reach out to us, send us a few photos of your area, what your preferences are, and we'll send you a free online recommendation on what might work best.

As we love to help you get the best results for bamboo in your gardens!

Looking to get some screening going. Live out in Bacchus March and the property backs into a valley that can see some fairly aggressive winds.

I wish to plant between a retaining wall and a fence that gets partial sun. 10-2pm.

Looking for a recommendation. Thank you.

Hi, I liked the look of your white wall with the bamboo privacy screen. What height does it grow to? The other question is I have a retaining wall with a very thin bed at the top. It’s it safe to put in somewhere like that?
