Bamboo Plant

Running Bamboo is a versatile and fast-growing species that offers many benefits when incorporated into landscaping projects. Its unique characteristics and practical attributes make it popular for enhancing outdoor spaces with aesthetic and functional advantages.

It is a shrub that will grow outwards almost as quickly as upwards. Although primarily an ornamental species, it does serve several purposes within a given landscape. Let's take a closer look at what this Bamboo Plant looks like and why you'll want to have it on your property.

The Physical Attributes of Bamboo Plant

It typically has a golden stalk from which a series of green leaves will shoot out. The trees that you see will shoot from stalks that grow horizontally along the ground, which is why they are referred to as runners.

You can see several inches or feet of vertical growth per season, much of which occurs in spring or early summer. It can also grow horizontally up to 10 feet in a single season. This may be fine with neighbors or local authorities if you are in a rural area. However, if you live in a typical neighborhood, consider adding a barrier to prevent runaway growth.

What Is Bamboo Plant Used For

This type of shrub can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adding some color to a garden or edging your garden, driveway, or other landscape components. You can also use it as a privacy screen or to help dampen noise coming from a neighbor's house, highway, or other sources. It can also help reclaim or revitalize a landscape after a weather event or years of neglect.

Be Sustainable With Bamboo Plant

Creatures such as rabbits or guinea pigs can use the shoots of this Bamboo Plant for nourishment. However, you probably won't see deer, rodents, or other creatures that typically exist in a suburban setting flocking to your tree, which may help to ensure its long-term survival.
