One gallon bamboo plants now available; now taking bamboo special orders for August delivery; Bamboo Open House date set for fall

One gallon bamboo plants now available!

Many clumping bamboo favorites now available in one gallon sizes.

We just received 400 one gallon bamboo plants (pictured above) and they are now for sale. This includes many popular varieties like Giant Clumping Timber Bamboo and Hedge Bamboo. We also have some unique shade clumping bamboo and some great running bamboo that works as a superior privacy hedge.

These aren't tiny either. The average Giant Clumping Timber Bamboo is 4 feet high above the pot (some are as tall as 6 feet); Hedge Bamboo and the other varieties average 4 feet high above the pot.

Bamboo for almost any budget, Giant Clumping Timber Bamboo is $13 for a one gallon plant and all other varieties are $12.
