Hello Adam, I live in Southern California, USA (zone 10b). I would like to start a Japanese water garden as well to have privacy. How far from the wall shall I plant my bamboo and it sounds like dwarf Malay or Slender Weaver for me, do you agree?
-
ok mine is in the window sill because its winter
-
how do you grow clippings that are just little tiny shoots
-
Hi Adam, we have exactly the same type of bamboo and it grows too high and blocking all the sunlight. I am looking for a tool to chop the top off at around 4 to 5m. Looking at the electric pole saw from Bunnings but it they're too expensive and also may be too powerful. Are you using a tree pruner at 3:18? Is it easy to use?

mate whats it like as screen down a driveway, when wet does it lean?

Bambusa textilis var. 'Gracilis'
Slender Weaver Bamboo is this the best bamboo for privacy in a tight space? and its clumping? as i would need to put them in big pots. Thanks ! -
We have clay soil here...would clumping bamboo still grow...?
Also, the deer eat everything in our yard...would they eat the new shoots...do i need to protect them somehow...? -
Clumping bamboo is the most appropriate variety for most suburban growers.

Hi Adam. Do you know how I can improve drainage for my bamboo? mine are growing in large pots and just in good quality compost.

WHAT'S A GOOD VARIETY FOR SHADED AREAS AND SUNNY AREAS ? I LIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, SO SOMETIMES WINTER HERE GETS A LITTLE COLD. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST ? THANK YOU .

Hi Adam. What species of bamboo do you have in this video? looks very nice. iv found a bamboo specialist here in the UK and I'm looking through as many species as I can potentially get my hands on so that I may pick the correct breed for my needs. I have a small back yard but I need privacy so if I can find a breed for that I would stick to it. however the more I learn about bamboo the more im fascinated by it.

hello. do you know how to propagate your bamboo? I have a clump of yellow groove and 2 clumps of golden. a video on this would be great but a brief description would do :) many thanks

Hi Adam, I have bought some Phylostachys aurea bamboo plants, it was advertised as a clumping bamboo, but some people say it runs, what is your opinion?
-
Hi Adam, have you ever grown bamboo in containers, I only have a small back yard, but I need privacy...........I would appreciate your opinion on container growing.
-
I am thinking of planting tiger grass as a screen for privacy, I have tried to start from seed but without success, not sure if there are any suppliers in my area, any suggestions would be appreciated.
