We were there last weekend. Still in awe and dreaming of how to incorporate bamboo on our property. Glad a lot of the information you gave us is in this video to refer back to. Hope to be back soon!
Good information. I would note that there are many bamboo varieties that are ‘clumping ‘. That means they do not spread beyond their immediate planting area and thus are self containing.
Our nursery is in Middle Tennessee and we don't grow for warmer climates. We experimented with the mountain bamboos(Fargesias) for clumping species, and unfortunately the summer heat, even in relatively cool micro-climates was too damaging for us to offer it to the public. It goes without saying that the tropicals wouldn't survive our winters. Thank you for your comments because they are certainly applicable to some other parts of the country.
Chris was great to work with, he showed me around his farm and was very detailed and helpful. I ended up buying the spectabilis yellow bamboo. I’m sure I’ll come back and get another variety. I was literally like a kid in a candy store and didn’t know which to pick.
Came across this video. And this guy has given me the most info on bamboo. I said I know where there’s an almaville at close to me. Looked his company up and if it ain’t the same almaville 30 minutes from me! I’m gonna go check them out!
Love them!! Going to plant 2-3 non-invasive plants as can't do more, don't have enouth space:( ..May be more can go into big pot (the invasive ones as they look gorgeous)!!
I’ve always lived bamboo. But I was apprehensive because I’ve hear horrid stories. I learned a LOT from this video and I will go ahead and add some to my yard landscaping
whats the best way to start a bamboo hedge of about 20' long. How many plants should I buy? How far apart planting? Or should I start with bamboo seed? What is most cost effective?
It will grow . Some bamboos can take temperatures as low as -20F . When winter comes I wrap my bamboo with a lashing strap , otherwise the snow will completely bend the bamboo to the ground
I really learned a lot great video.........question I live in Pennsylvania and I have a bunch of bamboo. When can I and how do transplant bamboo Please help Rick
Bamboo is a wonder plant Its so versatile You can use it for anything Clothing shoes / sneakers and utensils Plats cups Flooring and Wallpaper ect ect The list is endless 😂 The Japanese and Chinese people use it for building using it for scaffolding Asia's skyscrapers are 100 story's high and more and still they use bamboo As its more flexible that the western scaffolding Bamboo is an amazing hardy wonder plant and should be used more instead of chopping down indangerd forest's over the world Wee should unbrace bamboo . Thanks for the video Respect from Scotland uk 🏴👍✌️
1. How many category Bamboo plant do you have 🌿 2. Do you have Bamboo seeds ? If Have How much... 3. Do you sell seeds to overseas ? Can you send by Courier .. 4. Do you have any Training for Bamboo planting
Can I add the barrier to prevent mature plants spreading AFTER they're established or do I have to completely dig them up and re plant? Thanks for the video.
Hi I am in SW France and have just brought a property with 60 ft high running Bamboo. I am in the process of trying to eradicate it completely as it is out of control in my very sandy soil. Will it die if I just cut it all down close to the ground or do I need to dig up all the rhizomes? Thanks.
💙 your information on size management as I'm researching putting bamboo in my small yard, thank you! But one question ... bunch of heavy dudes with garden spades? ....why not just run a SAWZALL along that painted line. 😉 👍
Bamboos rarely flower, some types only every 50-60 years. You can find seeds on the internet, but they're not reliably fertile. Growing from seed is not a very good option for the non-professional. Many bamboo craft websites will sell you the product you need to make a flute. I'd try that rather than grow it yourself from seed.
I love to plant different species of bamboos. I hope someone can guide me where to buy seeds. Amazon seeds reviews is not germinated with the bamboos seeds
Thank you for the explanation. what is the depth and thickness for the golden goddess bamboo? is 18 inches depth and 60mil thickness barrier good enough to avoid the spread of this kind of bamboo?
I used a 25 inches barrier . All was well in the first years , but after that the bamboo pushes itself thru the barrier . If i knew that befor I would have planted clumping bamboo , then you do not even need a barrier .
No , and you do need even need a barrier . Clumping bamboo grows like a 'regular' tree or bush .But clumping bamboos do not get as high as running bamboo . Still there are type of clumping bamboo that get as high as 13 feet
Annual maintenance, correctly done, will contain it nicely. We demonstrate that in several ways (and over decades) on site. If nothing else, many of our residential customers use containers of their own making (google corrugated metal planters) or simple stock watering tanks for smaller installations. commercial is typically masonry. Thank you for the question
Beautiful and informational. Anybody got neighbors in Central or South Florida (Sebring down to homestead) via 27 or 95 with Oldhamii or Blue Bamboo they are trying to manage and producing free clippings and shoots? I am trying to propagate. Thanks.
I lost 1/4 of my garden in one year because my neighbors bamboo! I live in Virginia , there us no need for bamboo in va! I have root pruned it and worked like a dog and still it grows....
I built a cement planter box 11' long, 26" wide, 22" deep. The walls are 6" thick with two drain holes one in each graded corner. What type of bamboo do you recommend for privacy? And is this planter strong enough?
Chris, you have been so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This guy needs his own channel

So majestic and tropical feel.

Love bamboo. Would like to know more about how much to thin out, raking or leaving fallen leaves, compost/fertilizers please.
She was a good interviewer she asked all the questions I personally was wondering :)
She talked over the interviewee and asked questions he already addressed. 🤦♀️
Very useful and informative video
I’ve always lived bamboo. But I was apprehensive because I’ve hear horrid stories. I learned a LOT from this video and I will go ahead and add some to my yard landscaping
Great info! Thank you.
I just like a forest in my back yard. Like so many plants I can't see any man made structures. It's peaceful.
1:21 That's why I would choose bamboo
Thank you❣️
whats the best way to start a bamboo hedge of about 20' long. How many plants should I buy? How far apart planting? Or should I start with bamboo seed? What is most cost effective?
I wonder if bamboo will grow in Reno? It snows in the winter here.
It will grow . Some bamboos can take temperatures as low as -20F . When winter comes I wrap my bamboo with a lashing strap , otherwise the snow will completely bend the bamboo to the ground
I really learned a lot great video.........question I live in Pennsylvania and I have a bunch of bamboo. When can I and how do transplant bamboo Please help Rick
What types are these. That would have been nice.

Can I use the methods in the video for all kind of bamboo species? or is it just functional on some of them?

I know I'm late to the game with question but what about "Clumping" bamboo? Are they as invasive as the "Running" bamboos?
No
No , and you do need even need a barrier . Clumping bamboo grows like a 'regular' tree or bush .But clumping bamboos do not get as high as running bamboo . Still there are type of clumping bamboo that get as high as 13 feet
Isn't bamboo invasive?

😍
What about clumping bamboo?
I LIKE MY PHYLLOSTACHYS BAMBUSOIDES BAMBOO TO RUN LIKE WILDFIRE BUT I HAVE THE ROOM IT GROWS BY THE WILD REEDS ON THE COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA
Which bamboo is good for a great hedge?
Probably a bit late but Malay dwarf is excellent.
Why not clumping bamboo,
I want to learn how to grow bamboo
I wish she would stop interrupting him

Is there a way I could purchase some bamboo? Please let me know….
Almaville Bamboo Co.www.abcbamboo.com
Can you cut and replant the cut pieces
Yes , even a piece of a root of about 5 inches will grow bamboo . Bamboo is a type of grass .
I lost 1/4 of my garden in one year because my neighbors bamboo! I live in Virginia , there us no need for bamboo in va! I have root pruned it and worked like a dog and still it grows....
Sick of the horticultural racists who dislike Bamboo
I LIVE IN WV WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST BAMBOO AND DO YOU SELL SEEDS SO I COULD BUY.....PLEASE LMK THANKS TOM

Come to my home and I will tell you a different story.
Invasive species. Don't do it.
I live in Texas and see it all over. Ruining property and neighbors property. Plant only clumping bamboo with a barrier.
Do bamboo attract snakes?
