Golden Bamboo

Planting and care

It is the fastest growing plant used in the landscape to create a natural, tall privacy screen. Some people are captivated by bamboos decorative appeal; the dazzling array of colors, and graceful, evergreen foliage. Others recognize bamboo as the premiere renewable resource of the 21st century, as it is able to double or even triple its mass in one growing season, requiring little more than water, soil, and sunlight.

Caring for Golden Bamboo

• Choosing a bamboo for your container is quite similar to choosing a bamboo for your garden.
• You will need to know the amount of sunlight or shade your desired location will get.
• Most importantly, choose a bamboo that is cold hardy enough for your location.
• Is the bamboo for a privacy screen? If so, how tall or dense? The Bamboo Species section will list the hardiness, light tolerance and growth characteristics.
• Running Bamboos will generally give the best height. Because they are running bamboos, their roots are much more vigorous growing and will get root bound much sooner.
• Clumping Bamboos do not grow as aggressively and therefore will generally last much longer in pots before they get root bound and need repotting.
• Generally, most clumping Bamboos will not achieve the heights that a running bamboo would in a similar sized container.
