Bamboo Plant-Arundinaria Gigantea-is a Highly Adaptable, Fast Growing Giant Plant
Bamboo Plant Arundinaria Gigantea is a Favorite of Zoos and Yards for Fast Growing Coverage
There are over 1,000 species of bamboo, proof that they are a highly adaptable plant capable of surviving in numerous climates. The species of bamboo native to North America are river cane, hill cane, and switch cane. These bamboos favor wet climates and are frequently found in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 10. Some species of bamboo reach heights of 6 inches while others grow as high as 25 feet tall. High growing bamboo is valued as a windbreak and privacy screen. The hard stalks range in color from yellows and greens to exotic silvers, grays, and black. Some stalks grow up to 8 inches in diameter, making them very sturdy despite the fact that they are hollow. Regardless of the color or size of the stalk, all bamboo leaves have a greater length than width. The leaves are gentle and frond-like, providing a delicate contrast against the sturdy stem. From the size and thickness of bamboo, it is often easy to forget that bamboo is a grass. It is an evergreen perennial that will swiftly grow to its full height, much like any grass. Bamboo plants are frequently grown in containers where their growth can be controlled and maintained. Frequent watering is necessary, as is frequent fertilization when grown in pots. When grown in outdoor stands, plants should be started in the spring. In-ground bamboo requires roughly an inch of water per week after it is established. At the time of planting, apply a thick layer of compost but avoid fertilizing until the plants are established. Bamboo is evergreen but will drop leaves in spring while new leaves are emerging. Bamboo is a notoriously fast grower, and running bamboo will send new bamboo plants up through its rhizome root system. Clumping bamboo does not spread. Instead, it grows in bunches like other types of grass.
Bamboo is a great plant to put in your lawn because it will look great as it grows to the sky. Bamboo can get really big, and it will be so large that you will be able to cover anything with it that you want. You also need to remember that you can actually cut off this bamboo and use it for a lot of things that you can build yourself. The bamboo stables will grow up on their own after you start just one plant, and it will rise up the side of the house.
You can use bamboo for cover by the water if you are near a creek or a lake, and you might have some trouble with the way that people come in your lawn, and you can block them with the way that you are keeping them out. It can be fun to make sure that the bamboo is ready to cut so that it does not get too tall. Bamboo can grow so big that you cannot care for it, but you can use it and tend it so that it helps you make items with your bamboo and have something pretty in your lawn.
You can put the bamboo behind your shrubs and bushes, and you might have to be sure that you can put it behind your flowers. The bamboo will be something that can give you some presence in your garden, and you will be happy because it adds this color that you will love. You will feel much better about the way that the bamboo looks, a nod you will get a lot of that light tan color when you cut it off to use it. There are many people who will find that they can get a lot of coverage and dark beauty from the bamboo.
