The Beauty and Benefits of Running Bamboo
Running bamboo varieties provide a uniquely beautiful and functional living screen option for larger rural or suburban properties. Their leptomorph rhizomes facilitate controlled horizontal spread, allowing the gradual formation of groves and windbreaks ideally suited to landscapes with room for natural growth.
Running Bamboo Plants Natural Privacy and Protection
The tall, arching canes that emerge from rhizomes create airy, informal screens in an open canopy habit. Strategic placement around property boundaries provides long-term privacy from neighbouring homes. Arching canopies also shelter outdoor areas from noise and winds. Over several years, attractive groves take shape with minimal maintenance.
Low-Input Establishment and Care
While rhizomes spread at their own pace, contained within planted areas, running bamboo plants are otherwise very low maintenance. Amend the soil well before planting for optimal root development. Once established, minimal watering is required other than during prolonged dry spells. Periodic pruning encourages air circulation and the manipulation of grove size and shape to suit your vision.
