My newest obsession … Bamboo. I absolutely hate a shrub, way too normal and expected. The clean lines of the bamboo culm are an obvious choice if you want that more modern look. If we even mention to people that you are going to plant bamboo the seem horrified and immediately tell us how much we will regret it. Running Bamboo will propagate underground 20 or 30 feet from where you plant it, new shoots can grow into hard canes 10-25 feet tall in days! The secret is to properly prepare with commercial root barriers to stop the runners (rhizomes).

We will be doing lots of digging in the next week but I am so excited!
