Hi there!

I live in Farnborough, Hants and am in the process of redesigning the garden of our new home. We're south facing and as it's a row of terraces backing onto another, there isn't much privacy.

I have the opportunity of rehoming a clump of bamboo, which a friend no longer wants. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to determine the species!

It is currently around 15ft high (I may be exaggerating slightly but I'm only 5'3" and it seems huge!), very bushy, is definitely a clump forming non-invasive type and the canes seem to be green and brown striped.

We think it should be okay just to dig it up with as much of the root ball as possible as long as it's replanted in the new site straight away, but I know nothing about bamboo so would appreciate some suggestions.

Tnx,
Ami
