In general, the larger the division, the faster it will establish itself in a new location. This is what I'm offering here! The larger size of this plant requires a larger box, thus the Post Office charges more for this size and weight box.

Running bamboo-spreads via rhizomes

I started my grove with two small plants from a well known mail order catalog and paid nearly $100. for each one! It took two-three years for these to really take off, so it's important that you continue to keep these watered and be patient while the roots are re-establishing themselves. You'll think that nothing is happening, but indeed-it is! Never let the roots dry out and upon receving these make sure to open the box immediately and plant and water!

I've provided a springtime picture from my grove showing the range of colors that you get with these black bamboos.

Please bear in mind that this is a bamboo and does spread and will form a thick grove!

About me:

I love to garden and have been doing so for over 30 years. I have extensive knowledge in vegetables and fruits, annual and perennial plants in landscape applications an/or those that are containerized. Additionally, I have a good working knowledge of a large variety of trees. I also have years of experience in growing tropicals; namely palms, bananas and black bamboos. It is my desire to share a healthy stock with others for a reasonable price.

Shipping:

I ship viable plants. It will be carefully packaged and shipped semi-bareroot(with some soil) with moist wrap. I use USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. I am not responsible for these plants after they leave my hands, therefore this is a no return/no replacement/no refund item.Cannot combine bamboos.

*Please note that this is generally accepted/observed plant growing info for this plant ...this is not a guarantee by me that your plant will grow to be a maximum 24 feet tall or survive Zone 6-9 conditions.  My established groves have survived 4 degrees F and are nearer to 20 feet tall. I cannot guarantee your success growing this plant due to my inability to control the environmental or care conditions that your plant receives after it leaves my hands. Thank you. :-)
