Oldhamii Striking Vertical Impact
One of the tallest clumping varieties, Oldhamii forms a dense, upright structure through meticulously stacked canes. In ideal conditions, it can reach 10 meters tall while maintaining a compact footprint through regular pruning. Its dark foliage provides year-round screening.
Bambusa Oldhamii Suitable Placements
Reserve Oldhamii for open spaces with at least 600mm clearance on all sides. Amend soil generously with compost before planting to support its size. Provide afternoon shade in hot climates to safeguard foliage. Stake young plants to reinforce stability.
Oldhamii Bamboo Care for Optimal Growth
Water regularly throughout the first summer as the extensive root system develops downward and outward. Fertilise in spring and summer with a balanced organic formula. Prune lower foliage periodically to improve airflow circulation and shape.
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.
