We separate our bamboo into six different groups to cater to different projects and needs. If you’re looking to create a tropical oasis on a large piece of land, you may like the look of our hardy clumping bamboo. If you’re looking to create some privacy on your home’s property, mid-sized running bamboo creates dense and decorative screens. Whatever your preference or need, we’re almost certain you’ll find what you need with us.
Clumping bamboos can be planted without fear of them spreading beyond their assigned territory. Their rhizomes, the underground stems, are quite different than those of our timber and other non-clumping bamboos. Instead of a horizontal spreading rhizome, they are u-shaped making new culms next to the original plant, spreading only a few inches per year, hence the name clumping bamboo.

These are our largest temperate bamboos, several of which can grow over 40 feet tall and up to 6 inches in diameter. Phyllostachys are what many consider to be the classic bamboo – a giant grass capable of forming beautiful, open groves. Distinctive characteristics include impressively tall, robust culms with a pair of branches at each node.
