Want a "Living Fence" that can hide that view you despise?

Clumping Bamboo can be your best solution!

Clumping bamboo grows from a rhizome that develops new canes tightly only around its original base.

You may plant it directly into the ground and be assured that it is non-invasive – it stays true to its name

Excellent selection of all our varieties.

SPECIAL - WHILE SUPPLY LASTS

Fargesia Robusta Wolong - $50 for all WOLONG planted in 5 gallon pots - they are now between 5½ and 8 feet tall.  They have been out in the weather all winter and show it a wee bit - so take advantage and buy a "living fence" at our lowest price!

FARGESIA ROBUSTA WOLONG - Special price this month $50 They are now 5½ to 8 feet tall, planted in 5 gallon pots  Average mature height is 12 to 14 feet with a cane diameter ½ to ¾ inch USDA Zones 6-9 Hardy to 0˚F  Wolong’s extra-large shiny dark green leaves give it an exotic appearance.  It maintains a narrower profile than other clumping bamboo – excellent for limited space.  It will create a privacy screen that is tall and upright.  Wolong is more sun tolerant than other varieties, but in hot climates protect it from the harsh direct summer afternoon sun.  Wolong will also grow and mature even in full shade, thus is adaptable to many locations in a landscape.  Wolong is a rare and hard-to-find bamboo and we have a limited inventory for this sale. Fargesia robusta 'Wolong'  

FARGESIA SCABRIDA - Special $75 (Reg. $85)​ Now 6 to 7 feet tall, planted in 5 gallon pots.  Average mature height 12 to 14 feet, with cane diameter ½-¾ inch USDA Zones 6–9 Hardy to 0˚F  Scabrida makes a thick privacy screen that blocks even tall unwanted outlooks. Canes emerge as green shoots, gradually aging with soft burgundy hues depending on the amount of sun it receives. As the old and new canes mix, variations in color create a dramatic contrast. Slender emerald-green leaves make a graceful sound in gentle breezes and give this bamboo a tropical look.  Scabrida Bamboo is especially sun tolerant. Fargesia sp. 'Scabrida' 

FARGESIA ROBUSTA  Special Price $75  (Reg. $85) Now 5- 6 feet tall, planted in 5 gallon pots. Average of 12 to 15 feet tall at maturity with a cane diameter ¾ inch - USDA Zones 7-9  Plant Robusta bamboo directly in the ground for an outstanding deer-resistant privacy screen that grows taller and more upright than many varieties. It has large graceful deep-green glossy leaves and light green emerging shoots. These develop into golden culms, creating attractive color variations among the canes. Robusta Bamboo is named for its robustness – it is drought and sun tolerant but also will grow well in shade. Fargesia 'Robusta' 

FARGESIA RUFA “Green Panda” $35 planted in 2 or 3 gallon pots, $50 for 5 gallon pots, Now 1½ to 4½ feet tall,   Average mature height is 6 to 8 feet with a cane diameter ½ inch - USDA Zones 5-9 Hardy to -10˚F Rufa (Green Panda) non-invasive bamboo is an ideal height for creating a fence-height privacy screen. Green Panda sends up new culms that leaf out in early summer. These emerging shoots form tightly around the original base every season, maturing into a graceful semi fountain-like form. Green Panda is tolerant of both sun and shade - it is one of the most hardy and versatile clumping bamboos.  A row makes an attractive living partition.  Fargesia dracocephala 'Rufa'
