Available Sizes  Sizes explained
We sell most of our bamboos in planter bags instead of pots. The sizes listed here (in litres) refer to the volume of the planter bag, and thus the volume of soil and size of rootball. 3 litre bags - 120mm x 280mm (roughly equivalent to a 200mm pot in volume) The 'Typical height' listed next to each size is the approximate height of the plant at time of purchase. Planter bags uses less plastic than pots - the less plastic thrown into the environment the better. |

Straight, thin walled and strong. A beautiful straight bamboo which forms an extremely dense clump.
This species is great for privacy screens. Planted with 1 meter spacing between plants, they will form a very continuous and dense 'wall' of bamboo within 3 years. They can be spread out a bit further (say to 1.5 or 2 meters between plants) and still create a great screen, but with distinct individual clumps at the base but with the foliage still creating a complete screen at the tops. Should be planted at least 0.5m away from fences, unless using a root barrier of some description to stop it from growing under the fence.
Its size does vary quite a bit depending on conditions. If planted with plenty of space and good soil, it will easily reach 8m. If planted close together (ie. 1m apart) or in poorer conditions, then usually only around 6m.
The photo below shows a 3 year old Gracilis hedge (planted at 1.5m apart), used to block some unsightly potting mix heaps.
