About us
We carefully choose and carry the best and most suitable clumping bamboo varieties.
Whether you are looking for privacy bamboo, ornamental specimens, focal points, food forest addition, plantation production, or commercial applications, such as gardens, parks, zoos, resorts, community border, or highway barrier, we are your trusted clumping bamboo source.
Benefits of Growing Bamboo
Bamboo offers the fastest natural way to gain privacy. Clumping (vs. Running) bamboo is non-invasive and safe to use in regular landscape without root barrier.
Bamboo is flexible yet strong, so it is considered hurricane-resistant.
Bamboo plants are beautiful and exotic to look at. Here in our nursery you will find bamboos with green, blue, golden, or black color, many with beautiful stripes.
Some bamboo shoots are edible and delicious. Some bamboo leaves make refreshing bamboo leaf tea.
By absorbing 5x the amount of CO2 and producing up to 35% more oxygen than standard trees in the same amount of space, bamboo is one of the best Eco-friendly living privacy fence options.
