If you are searching for the tropical feeling, there are many other plants that are effective. The giant bird-of-paradise has a great tropical influence. I had a small plot of bamboo once and it took three years of effort to eliminate the plant. Dick Will be moving into a property with a backyard about half an acre and a front yard about a quarter acre. Right now, these areas are occupied by three giant oak trees which cast over the house, and the property is completely fenced in around the perimeter. Besides the oak trees are just some palms here and there. I am looking for ideas on what to do with the backyard. We are planning to add a pond somewhere, and have always been facinated with the idea of a large area of bamboos adjacent to a pond. With the oak trees the backyard is always shaded there is virtually no sunlight and grass do not even grow in that area except for a patch here and there. What type of bamboo should we consider if we move forward with this idea? We do not know much about bamboo except I bought two small 36" pots of Budda's belly bamboo from a local grower for $60 |
