Choosing the right
bamboo for the right area can sometimes be difficult. There are different types
for different situations. Clumping can be great for blocking out unwanted views
or buildings. You have some that look great in a pot used in small courtyards
as ornaments. Some, however do not suit pots and some of the larger bamboo do
not suit smaller gardens. We have over 15 years’ experience in growing bamboo
in Victoria that will suit Victorian conditions. We also know what works well
in other conditions. We are only a phone call away to help you choose the best
bamboo for your requirements.
An example of a
great bamboo is Gracilis. This is one of our most popular bamboo due to its use
as a wind break or screen. This can block out a neighbouring building very
quickly. It is a clumping bamboo meaning that it will all the culms will clump
together to form a dense green screen. It will reach approximately 6-8m in
height meaning that you can block out any unwanted views. If it does take over
a little, it can have a good trim to make the perfect shape and height to suit
your requirements.
This does not suit
all situations. It does not like small rectangular pots. It can grow quite high
very quickly so if you do not need the height then we may be able to suggest a
different type of Bamboo. It responds
quite well to a good trim a couple of times a year. If you are looking at a low
maintenance bamboo that does not grow as high then give us a call and we can
help you out.
An example of a
smaller bamboo is one called Gold Stripe. This grows to a maximum height of about 3
metres which would be great for smaller gardens. This can even be planted in
pots to be used as an ornamental plant.
It is important to
use the right bamboo in the right situation. It is also important to make sure
the bamboo is suited for your conditions and requirements. We propagate and
grow bamboo in Victoria so we know what works and what does not. We are more
than happy to help you out with your Bamboo decisions. Our website has a lot of
