Description:

                   Bambusa Vulgaris. Height: 40'+ Diameter: 3'+ Min Temp: 30F A stunning, large, green Very Tropical looking bamboo with showy satin green canes which when planted in the ground will quickly achieve heights upwards of 40'and 3' in diameter. This bamboo is quick to establish itself over a wide range of soil conditions. Well drained soil and some water are all you will need to grow our starters into a large multi caned bamboo clump within a couple of years. This open clump form will initially focus its energy on making underground roots or rhizomes, then usually the first summer after it has been planted, will send up several new canes or shoots. These shoots will rapidly grow into very beautiful clump of large, straight, poles of amazing tropical green bamboo. Vulgaris makes a great bamboo for a privacy break. I have seen customers plant a line of them 8'-10' apart to quickly screen out busy roads and unsightly neighbors. Clumping Bamboo's roots are localized and will not spread deeper than 18 inches and go no further than the base of the clump. Clumping bamboos are completely different than their running cousins. Don't be confused, this bamboo will not spread all over the yard. It will quickly provide you with tropical beauty and the satisfaction knowing you are doing something good for the earth. Bamboo converts Carbon Dioxide to Oxygen 5 times more efficiently than a stand of traditional woody trees. Bamboo is quickly gaining popularity as one of the worlds fastest growing wood producing plants, and provides us with sustainable and renewable sources of timber, pulp and fiber. So plant bamboo in your yard. It comes in all shapes, sizes and colors and can be used throughout the United States. Help introduce this valuable sustainable green natural resource to your community. Make yourself the talk of the neighborhood with these beautiful specimen bamboos. The product that is currently shipping is 3 gallon (10 inch) root and rizome mass with small new shoots emerging. They are over 18 months old and have had there mature canes totally removed. New shoots are emerging and growing daily. When you get these from UPS they will be almost entirely root mass with a little bit of green shoots. Do not be disappointed, just plant and stand back.
