Default bamboo in containers--what size?

Try here http://www.americanbamboo.org/ and here

Keep in mind that even clumping bamboo will eventually out grow any pot.


Travis, thanks for that. I meant to say that I am in the Seattle area
(too!). I didn't see much about growing bamboo in containers at the
site you referred me to. I did run into one that suggested 18" to 24"
deep containers which they consider shallow. Also, with 2" of styrofoam
lining but this was for New Jersey so perhaps around here a 1/2" of
cedar is enough? This was at http://www.bamboos.com/grow.html.
