Care Upon Receiving Bamboo
Remove it from its shipping carton carefully, avoiding damage to new
growth on culms/shoots. Plant containers are usually strapped into the box.
Carefully cut all the plastic strapping and remove the plant (pot first) from
the carton. Shipping can be stressful, especially during the extreme
heat. Place your plants in a protected/shaded area, misting and watering as
needed. When signs of stress have disappeared, plant as indicated.
See General Planting
Procedures for more information.
*Please Note: All
Height and Culm Diameters listed are based on information for maximum dimensions
in the continental U.S. Generally the warmer the climate the larger the height
and diameter of the bamboo. Bamboo in zone 5 may be 50% of the maximum height
listed. The minimum temperatures listed refer to culm hardiness. Your bamboo may
die completely to the ground if winter temperatures fall below those indicated.
However, root hardiness is perhaps 10°F below that of culm. Hardiness can be
influenced by location, wind and winter protection.
