Amongst my, perhaps unachievable, wishlists are; Readily available I don't want to pay the earth I'd like it two meters or so high I would like a non-invasive form Preferably pretty as well Yes there ARE non-invasive bamboos. Mine was bought at Wisley 15 years ago labelled Phyllostachys nigra. It is phyllostachys but not nigra. It took until last year to need splitting as the clump was about 3 feet across. What you must Not buy is a spreading one. Make sure it is clump forming. Google gave me http://www.thescottishbamboonursery.co.uk/home.htm which has a good selection and under "search" you will find them well categorised. Pam in Bristol |
