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, black or white color, many with beautiful stripes.
Some bamboo shoots are nutritious and delicious. Some bamboo leaves make great 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 your Eco-friendly plant option.

6 Important Things to Know About Planting Bamboo
- In Central Florida, most bamboo can be planted all year round, except a couple of slightly cold-sensitive varieties.
- Bamboo thrives in full sun or partial sun. It will be happy to sway next to trees or into the trees.
- Newly planted bamboo needs to be sufficiently watered daily for 4 to 6 weeks after planting. Then it should be watered twice a week or as needed. If the leaves are folding or curling up, water with more volume or frequency.
- Bamboo roots need to breathe and should be planted in soil that drains well.
- A good fertilizer for bamboo should have the N-P-K ratio around 18-5-10 with some minors. If you want an easy and effective fertilizer routine, apply 6 months slow release fertilizer twice a year.
- Avoid fertilizers that contain herbicides, such as weed and feed type.
