Well rooted, individual young plants are being sold here.
Roots are carefully wrapped in moist materials, sealed in plastic, then packaged in boxes and sealed. They can remain in these boxes for 3 weeks and still survive. Bamboo is an extremely tough plant.
As it is currently shooting season, new shoots can be expected within a few weeks after arrival. Plants should be planted into black nursery bags or plastic pots and placed in full shade after arrival, for at least 2 weeks before being planted into their new positions within the garden. This is to minimize the shock of transport, and to speed up the production of new shoots.
Bamboo absorbs 3x more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than trees, produces 3x more oxygen than trees and grow a lot faster. Birds love bamboo, pests leave them alone.
