should I buy bigger plants?
All summer I have worked my ass off making a divided - and yes, I
installed barrier - bamboo garden.... minus the bamboo. Now I am ready to begin planting. I was looking at a local nusery which has sizes ranging from one gallon to field-dug specimens with a rootball 2 1/2 feet wide or more. The price difference is staggering, of course. Since I am intalling at least ten varieties of bamboo and probably more in the future, I am wondering if I should go for the expensive plants rather than five gallon or smaller plants. Will I see much of a difference in how fast the grove gets started? Or will a well cared for five gallon potted plant be just as good? |

Unless you need instant landscaping, save money, get more different kinds of bamboo instead of paying for the big ones. they also cost more to transport and install. this is just our advice....hermine |
