OUR CURRENT AVAILABILITY OF POTTED SCREENING/RUNNING BAMBOO

ESTIMATED MATURE HEIGHTS ARE FOR BAMBOO PLANTED IN CONTAINERS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

RED MARGIN TIMBER BAMBOO is fast growing, quickly forming an extremely dense privacy screen. It is one of the few very tall bamboos with foliage that can start at ground level. Rubro has attractive red 'margins' on emerging shoots in spring, fading to canes with soft hues of greens and golds. It grows in sun or shade and can manage well at coastal sites with salt spray. Rubro is hardy and withstands winter frosts and cold dry winds. The strong canes can get up to 2 or 3 inches in diameter – they are excellent for crafts and woodworking. Depending on planting conditions, Red Margin Bamboo matures 18 to 25 feet in containers. Phyllostachys rubromarginata
BISSETII Whether you want to screen a hot tub, deck, or the neighbors, the dark green canes and thickly growing foliage make Bissetii one of our most asked-for bamboos for this purpose. It grows fast and has densely clustered, almost entirely windproof canes. Bissetii is easy to grow, low-maintenance, upright, evergreen and one of the most resilient bamboo varieties. When established, Bissetii Bamboo is tolerant of cold, heat, and drought. Average mature height is 12 to 16 feet when planted in containers (depending on conditions). Phyllostachys bissetii
GOLDEN CROOKSTEM might be the most captivating bamboo because of its tendency to have some canes that zig-zag at the base. New canes develop with a tinge of burgundy coloration, especially in sunlight. Gradually the canes become a deep golden color with cascades of dark green leaves. Golden Crookstem is robust, withstanding strong winds and cold temperatures, getting about 10-16 ft tall in a container. It is the hardiest, most adaptable bamboo with golden canes. Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Aureocaulis'
TEMPLE has leaves that grow close to the green canes that mature at 14-16 feet in a container, providing excellent density and privacy. It is the ideal choice for screening "above the fence" to filter out unwanted views and noise. Traditionally it has been grown around temples for the relaxing sound of its large leaves in gentle breezes. It brings a peaceful and restful atmosphere to city gardens. Semiarundinaria Fastuosa
GOLDEN GROOVE canes begin a rich yellow, maturing to a deep golden with eye-catching yellow & green vertical grooves. In sunshine canes may have a burgundy tint in spring and a few might have a zig-zag at the base. Golden Groove quickly matures upright, and graceful to about 14-17 feet tall in a container. It is virtually pest and disease free and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Phyllostachys aureosulcata ‘Spectabilis’
