Bamboo is a very cold hardy and fast growing plant

Bamboo is a very cold hardy and fast growing plant which makes it ideal as a privacy hedge or unique single specimen .We have many varieites from the low growing Buddha Belly to the tall and graceful textilis gracialis. Other varieties include blue, emerald and sunburst.

All of our bamboo is non-invasive and grows in a clumping manner. The above picture is a meditation circle created for a client. These bamboo were planted less than one year ago from 15 gallon containers.

The second picture was taken 2 years later.
