Gracilis bamboo from Bamboo Creations Victoria

Bamboo Creations Victoria have Gracilis on special over Easter

We have spoken before about the wonderful Gracilis Bamboo. This is because it is one of our most popular Bamboo. Over the Easter period we will be having this Bamboo on special starting from $35. 

Bambusa textilis var. gracilis or commonly known as Slender Weavers Bamboo is a fast growing, clumping type of bamboo. Grow it along a fence line to block out the neighbours. Like one of our pictures on the right, you can just see the neighbours house. Imagine the same picture in a few years time. Privacy with a nice green screen. 

This bamboo will grow to about 6 metres tall but can be cut and hedged if you don't want it to grow that big. It has a nice tight clump with a cane diameter of about 4cm. Come along to our Nursery in Riddells Creek over Easter to see this bamboo and all our other bamboo and take home a few specials.

Bamboo Creations attending Hawkesbury Collector's Plant Fair

Khasia bamboo at Collectors Plant Fair with Bamboo Creations

The Collectors Plant Fair is sneaking up on us very quickly. We are now in Autumn and this is a spectacular autumn show. This fair features 70+ growers and plant lovers with different and rare plants that you would not normally see. Speak to the growers about the different and rare plants and how they could complement your own garden.

Bamboo Creations Victoria are taking our van up to Sydney for this event as we love to show off our wonderful Bamboo Plants. We still have our Khasia on special and this will be traveling with us to Sydney along with plenty of other bamboo plants. We will even be taking some of our high quality bamboo products. Your feet will thank you for the bamboo socks - anti-bacterial properties make these socks high quality and a treat to wear.

The Collectors Plant Fair is held on Sat 8th & Sun 9th April at the Hawkesbury Race Club - 1 Racecourse Road, Clarendon NSW. It is open from 8am-4pm on Sat and 9am-4pm on Sunday. Come along and say Hi.

New events added for Bamboo Creations Victoria

New events added to Bamboo Creations Victoria website

We have now altered our website to include new events for the coming months (up until June). These have been listed down the left hand side or on the bottom of the page depending on the device you are using. We have planned many different events covering many different locations to try and take our bamboo to as many people as possible. Why not have a look (www.bamboo-plants.com.au) and come to one of these events to say Hi.

Events to be aware of: we are heading up to Sydney in April to attend the collectors fair at Hawkesbury. This is a 2 day event. Will give you more information about this later but for all Sydney people (and people traveling to Sydney in April) pencil in the 8th and 9th April. We are attending most of our regular events and are heading back to Mansfield in June.

Drepanostachyum Khasianum or known as Khasia bamboo

Khasia Bamboo on special at Bamboo Creations Victoria

Our frog on our website has been changed to show that Khasia Bamboo is now on special. A 20cm pot with a 2 metre Khasia bamboo was $69 and is now selling for $49. This is nearly a 30% discount. Get in quick as stocks are limited.

Khasia is a clumping type of bamboo with spectacular white and purple rings around the internodes. This bamboo likes certain climates. It will tolerate full sun if moist and mulched or planted in a colder climate. Is not very frost hardy. If in doubt as to where to plant this bamboo, please give us a call on 1300 654 454 and have a chat to one of our bamboo specialists.

Khasia is a clumping type of bamboo with a clump size of about 1 metre. This can form a beautiful lime green screen to a height of about 4 metres. To form a screen you need to plant each bamboo plant about 1 metre apart. This also does quite nicely in pots as a specimen plant either indoor or outdoor. Once again if you need any information or advice on where to use this beautiful plant then give us a call or send us an email.

See you all at our next event at Seymour on the 17th - 19th Feb.
