Alphonse Karr bamboo or botanical name of Bambusa Multiplex cv. More and more people are starting to see the benefit of planting bamboo in their gardens. The photos to the right are of a display home in Melbourne. The builders could see the selling point of starting to hide the neighbours building using Alphonse Karr bamboo. Through the window will be a magnificent green feature wall instead of having to look at the paling fence with a building over the top.
Like most bamboo, Alphonse Karr is a fast growing clumping type of bamboo. It can form a green screen in about 2 years to hide unwanted views. The clumping properties of this bamboo means that it can also be a sound barrier as well as a screening plant. It can be pruned to any shape so you can keep the height and also keep it well manicured.

As you can see by the photo on the right, our stock is prepared for the Victorian environment. This time of year the bamboo is lush and green and looks fantastic in our nursery, so will look even better in your own garden.
The picture on the right is a very clever use of the Gracilis Bamboo Plant. This has already started to cover the 2 storey building next door. The building will soon be blocked leaving a beautiful green screen. This particular plant was planted in Aug 2013, these photos were taken in Aug 2014, so it has only been a year to start the blocking process.
Bambusa Textilis var. Gracilis or commonly known as Slender Weavers bamboo is a fast growing clumping type of bamboo.
Gracilis bamboo has a maximum height of approximately 8 metres which will be perfect for this situation to hide the next door building. The lower leaves of this bamboo have been trimmed to keep the base slim and the top bushy for where it is needed the most.
We thank this customer for sending us these fantastic shots. We have also put them up in our gallery on our website so have a good look how these plants have been used.
