Blue Bamboo 15G – CALL FOR PRICE
Bambusa chungii. The tight clump makes it suited to smaller gardens and large containers of 18 inches or more in diameter, or as large as your space will allow. A canopy of attractive dark green leaves in palm-like fans top this beauty off. Barbelatta loves the sun and heat and is hardy to 21°F. Excellent as a specimen or spaced at 5 to 6 feet apart to form an attractive privacy screen.
The earlier in the season you can plant your bamboo the better. Bamboo shoots from late Spring-Fall. It grows its roots in the Winter and into Spring, so if you buy a plant after August, don’t expect to see new shoots til April-November, when you can expect a 6′-9′ plant with 6-12 shoots your first Summer, 12′-15′ second summer and 20′ third summer. This Bamboo will mature to 25′ after 5 years and be 5′ diameter. Growth and survival depends on feeding and watering the bamboo.
The size of the plants vary from time of year. In Spring they are somewhat fresh and ultra viable re rooted divisions which, if planted before June, will shoot up to 6 shoots that year. As they grow into summer it doesn’t take long till they are outgrowing their 3 gallon pots.
