Bambusa Textilis Gracilis
Gracilis can be used as a large screening plant for privacy against the double story next door or planted in a small courtyard as a specimen. This is one of the best varieties to manipulate to the form you want; keep it as a luscious blanket of foliage, prune the lower branches to expose the culms, cut the tops to the height required, cut and remove most of the culms for a minimalistic look, etc.

Gracilis can reach 6mt height in most situations. Very often this is more than enough height and may impede on sun reaching your garden or the tall branches whipping around in the wind too much. Simple solution; cut them. No need to reach for the ladder. Grab hold of a culm at head height and pull it down and cut off the top meter or so, let it go, and it will spring up more vertical than before. This procedure can be done anytime of the year and to any height you require, noting than very new shoots are very brittle and may break before they flex. This pruning technique is certainly no problem for the plants health and can actually be beneficial.

Gracilis Bamboo Proven Performance
Customers love Gracilis bamboo for its reliability and resilience. Once established, it withstands hot sun, cold temperatures, high winds and periods of dry weather better than more delicate plants. This tolerance for varying conditions makes it a versatile and low-maintenance choice. Gracilis bamboo can thrive with minimal care, saving customers time and effort compared to other species that demand perfect growing conditions.
Gracilis Bamboo Care Best Practices
To boost establishment and encourage maximum growth potential, we recommend amending the soil with compost or other organic matter prior to planting Gracilis bamboo. This improves drainage and provides crucial nutrients as the clump develops. Very frequent watering may be needed at planting and through their first summer. Once established, fertilizing is not required although highly beneficial to keep them lush. Pruning periodically helps maintain the desired shape and size while encouraging the thickening of the clump centre. Gracilis bamboo remains green and lush throughout the year.
Sourcing Quality Gracilis Bamboo Stock
We source our Gracilis bamboo solely from trusted, local growers with decades of experience specialising in bamboo cultivation. The mature clumps are carefully divided using expert horticultural techniques to provide only the most vigorous, robust divisions for sale. This harvesting method gives customers a major head start on rapid establishment compared to immature, mass-produced stock from inexperienced suppliers. Customers can feel confident they are purchasing premiere planting material suited to thrive.
Check Our Bamboo Varieties
At Red Cloud Bamboo, we offer both clumping and running bamboo varieties suitable for a variety of landscaping needs. Clumping bamboos grow in dense clusters and are contained within the root zone, making them a great option for smaller gardens and containers. They require less maintenance while providing an attractive addition. Meanwhile, our running bamboos spread more rapidly both above and below ground. Without proper confinement, they can become invasive. However, running bamboos are well-suited for privacy screening when contained appropriately. Both bamboo types add an elegant natural element to landscapes when planted in optimised conditions.
