WHAT IS BAMBOO? 

Bamboo is King of the Grasses. Upright and 

elegant, bamboo adds a distinguished elegance 

to any landscape. Although bamboo has earned 

a reputation for being an aggressive, fastspreading 

menace, not all bamboos are runners. 

In recent years, newly introduced, non-invasive 

clumping bamboos have become increasingly 

available to the general public – even more so 

since the advent of our tissue-culture propagation 

process. These plants offer cold hardiness, variety 

of form and texture, a myriad of cane colors and 

– most importantly – both tight and open clumps 

that do not spread when planted. 

With over 1,250 species growing from sea 

level to 13,500 feet, bamboo is found on every 

continent except the frozen poles. Bamboo 

comprises a highly diverse group of plants, 

from tall timber varieties to groundcovers and 

water species.

BAMBOO AND THE ENVIRONMENT 

A workhorse in the fight against global warming, a bamboo stand can sequester over 4 

times more CO2 than an equivalent stand of trees, simultaneously releasing 35% more 

oxygen. Unfortunately, like trees, bamboo has been the victim of deforestation due to 

population growth and increased demand for plant fiber. BooShoot’s patent pending tissueculture 

technology can play a large role in both much needed reforestation and meeting 

agricultural demand. Japan and 

the Netherlands are now planting 

vast tracts of bamboo toward 

their carbon credit, and much of 

America’s lands are suitable for 

growing bamboo.

LANDSCAPE USES 

Nothing welcomes a guest as 

graciously as a bamboo-lined drive 

or lane. And nothing promotes 

privacy so elegantly and softly 

as a bamboo screen. Ideal for 

container plantings on decks and 

patios, and stunning as a ground 

cover, bamboo is also perfect for 

areas where preventing soil erosion 

is a concern and as a natural 

complement to water features.

MISCONCEPTIONS 

EVERY BAMBOO IS INVASIVE 

Although there are many invasive species, 

there are just as many true clumping 

bamboos. A clumping bamboo rhizome 

does not have the ability to spread 

indefinitely through the ground. (See “How 

It Grows”, page 18, for more details.) 

ALL BAMBOOS NEED CONTAINMENT 

The growing tip of a pachymorph (clumping) 

rhizome must turn up and become 

a cane. This characteristic, in essence, 

defines “clumping”, non-invasive, species. 

Although there are “open” clumping 

bamboos (the rhizome necks on these 

species are elongated and the canes are 

spaced farther apart), most temperate 

clumpers have a base diameter of only 4 

to 6 feet at maturity and do not need to 

be contained. 

RUNNING BAMBOOS DON’T RUN 

Oftentimes a running bamboo will 

“sit still”, but this is typically due to 

environmental conditions. Lack of 

sunlight, inadequate water, and poor 

soil conditions will influence a bamboo’s 

rhizome growth. If any of these factors 

change, however, or if the bamboo 

decides to seek greener pastures, it 

always has the ability to do so. 

ALL BAMBOO IS TROPICAL 

The American Bamboo Society lists over 

225 bamboos that are cold hardy to 

USDA Zone 7b and below. Many of the 

species are high mountain plants that 

actually prefer a colder climate. 

THE FIRST YEAR BLUES 

Although a new bamboo shoot can grow 

over a foot a day, this only occurs on very 

large timber species. In order for bamboo 

to produce larger canes, the rhizome 

system need time to become firmly 

established in the ground. Remember: The 

first year they sleep, the second year they 

creep, and the third year they run! 

REGARDING LUCKY BAMBOO 

This is not a bamboo at all, but a 

Dracaena. Often called “Lucky Bamboo”, 

Dracaena sanderiana is a tropical 

member of the lily family and will not 

grow outdoors in most of the U.S. 

REGARDING LABELING - BEWARE! 

Many a running bamboo is sold as 

“clumping”. Be sure to buy your bamboo 

from a reputable source that will have the 

plant properly identified. 

MOWING AND BAMBOO CONTAINMENT 

Cutting new shoots to ground level will 

not control the underground root system 

of bamboo. While this can keep the 

aboveground portions in check, the 

rhizomes will still travel freely through 

the soils.

CLUMPING 

BAMBOO 

Bamboo that behaves ® No other group of plants is having as much 

impact on the garden world as clumping bamboo. These plants present 

a vast array of gardening possibilities. The base diameter of most of 

these bamboo clumps expand slowly – only a few inches a year. Some 

are more open and command a bit larger space. All of these bamboos 

make a fantastic addition to the garden. The list of garden-worthy 

attributes – such as cane color, growth habit, and zonal diversity – is 

spectacular. None of these bamboos require a barrier – they are truly 

no-fear bamboo .

GENERA 

BAMBUSA (bam boo sa) 

Bambusa is a species-rich genus 

of tropical to sub-tropical clumping 

bamboos found in places such as 

Bali, Thailand, Australia, China, 

India, and New Guinea. Numerous 

branches at each node, with one or 

two branches much larger than the 

rest, help to distinguish the genus. 

BORINDA (bor in da) 

Found in the mountainous regions of 

Bhutan, Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan, 

this genus of clumping bamboos is 

similar to Fargesia, but the flowers 

differ between the two. 

CHUSQUEA (chus kay a) 

Possibly the largest genus of 

bamboos with 134 described species 

and potentially another 70 yet to 

be described. These are mostly 

clumping mountain bamboos, but 

some are runners. Distinguished by 

numerous short branchlets, usually 

complemented by one or two 

dominant branches at each node. The 

genus has solid wood and an unusual 

appearance. 

FARGESIA (far gee si a) 

From the alpine conifer forests of 

West and Southwest China. This 

genus of clumping bamboos ranges 

from medium to small. All very cold 

hardy but not tolerant of extremely 

high summer temperatures. 

OTATEA (o tat ee a) 

Originating from parts of Central and 

South America, Otatea is a smaller 

genus of clumping bamboo, known 

for its airy appearance and graceful 

habit. 

THAMNOCALAMUS (tham no cal a mus) 

Similar to Fargesia, this genus of 

clumping bamboos is from the 

mountains of Asia and Africa.

Bambusa multiplex 

"HEDGE BAMBOO" 

Excellent for gardens or interior 

plantings, Bambusa multiplex 

also tolerates pruning for shape. 

The culms are all green with a 

slightly smaller leaf shape. Each 

node has branches at the culm 

base to make a dense hedge.

RUNNING 

BAMBOO 

Bamboo is a fast-growing evergreen that provides interest and texture in 

all seasons and makes a strong visual statement in landscapes. 

The temperate timber bamboo species range from smaller screening plants 

at 2 feet to giants well over 100 feet tall, providing an excellent backdrop 

to our modern-day landscapes. Water species have air canals in the rhizome 

system, allowing them to tolerate a more saturated soil. Many midsize 

runners work beautifully in containers and can add a tropical flair to 

the most temperate of gardens. 


GENERA 

HIBANOBAMBUSA 

(hi ban oh bam bus a) 

This genus is thought to be a 

natural hybrid between Sasa 

and Phyllostachys. It has the 

two branches characteristic of 

Phyllostachys and large leaves 

characteristic of Sasa. 

PSEUDOSASA (sue do sa sa) 

Characterized by only one branch 

at each node, these are small to 

medium sized running bamboos. 

PLEIOBLASTUS (plee o blast us) 

This is a genus of running bamboo 

with persistent cane leaves that 

ranges in size from small to 

medium. Most species are native to 

Japan. 

PHYLLOSTACHYS (fi lo stay kis) 

Native to coastal and central 

China, this is the genus to which 

most of the medium and all of the 

large, hardy bamboos belong. 

Some of the more cold hardy 

Phyllostachys grow near the Great 

Lakes and in the eastern United 

States, where the ground freezes 

every winter. Containment is highly 

recommended, but if a gardener 

has the room and wants a majestic 

giant bamboo, this is the genus 

from which to choose. 

SASA (sa sa) 

Large leaves with never more than 

one branch per node defines this 

genus of dwarf to mid-size running 

bamboos.

Hibanobambusa 

tranquillans 

‘Shiroshima’ 

Attractive variegated foliage 

has vivid, green stripes against 

white and yellow. New canes

SHADE USDA ZONE HEIGHT DIAM. 

Although not a hard and fast rule, bamboo can 

generally double its height within one season. 

The spread of the plant depends on the type and 

variety. Running bamboo can spread many feet 

away from the plant every year once established, 

while clumping bamboo tends to double the 

clump diameter yearly. 

The needle in Alexander Graham Bell’s first 

phonograph was made of bamboo. 

In 1882, Thomas Edison used bamboo filaments 

in his quest to invent the world's first practical 

incandescent lamp. 

Bamboo can also tolerate extreme conditions that 

most plants cannot. It was actually the first plant 

to re-green after the atomic blast in Hiroshima in 

1945. 

Bamboo is very effective at preventing erosion. 

The roots of bamboo shoots are able to hold soil 

together in places where soil would typically 

be washed away. Some of these places include 

earthquake zones, mud slide areas, river banks, 

and areas that have been deforested. Bamboo 

shoots are able to prevent erosion of soil by 

blocking rain run-off by as much as 25 percent. 

Cutting a bamboo cane will stop that particular 

cane’s upright growth, but will still send side 

branching.

HOW IT GROWS 

ABOVE GROUND 

The aboveground portion of the bamboo 

is comprised of individual canes, or 

culms. Canes store much of the sugars 

and nutrients the plants need for survival. 

The structural fibers of the bamboo canes 

consist of lignin and silica, providing 

the flexibility and strength for which 

the bamboo is known. Each cane is 

sectioned by solid rings called nodes. 

The hollow portion of the cane is known 

as an internode. Some bamboo canes, 

such as those of Chusquea and some 

species of Dendrocalamus, are solid 

and are widely used for their superior 

building qualities. 

The branches of a bamboo cane initiate 

from the nodes. Some species, mainly 

Phyllostachys, have grooves (called 

sulcus) along one side of the internode 

where the branches emerge. The sulcus 

can differ in color from the bamboo 

cane itself. 

The culm sheaths are protective 

coverings that encircle the newly 

emerging canes. Sheaths are also found 

on the branch sections and rhizome 

sections. 

BELOW GROUND 

Bamboo is comprised of an underground 

system of stems, known as rhizomes. 

Structurally similar to canes, rhizomes 

consist of a series of nodes and 

internodes. In the rhizome system, these 

sections are much more compact than in 

the aboveground canes. 

New buds are found on each node, 

each of which contains all the growth 

material for new rhizomes as well as 

future canes. 

Rhizomes are either pachymorph 

(clumping) or leptomorph 

(running); in just a few 

cases, such as Pseudosasa, 

they are a combination of 

both (called amphimorph). 

CLUMPING 

PACHYMORPH (clumping) rhizomes are 

significantly more compact than their 

leptomorph cousins. The rhizome 

necks (connective structure between 

existing and newly forming canes) are 

typically very short and almost solid 

forming a dense mass of new culms 

that increases only a few inches in 

diameter each year. In some species, 

such as Chusquea gigantea and 

Borinda boliana, the rhizome necks are 

elongated, giving the clump a much 

more open feel. The open varieties can 

take two to three times more space in 

the landscape than tight clumpers such 

as Fargesia. Because all pachymorph 

rhizomes end with a new culm, these 

bamboos generally have the capacity 

to spread indefinitely and do not need 

containment. 

RUNNING 

LEPTOMORPH (running) rhizomes grow 

similarly to aboveground bamboo 

canes, elongating from the terminal 

bud and extending their reach outward 

in all directions. Each node of a 

rhizome has buds that either grows 

into new canes or more rhizomes. 

These rhizomes beget more rhizomes, 

which beget more rhizomes – and on 

it goes. The underground system of a 

leptomorph bamboo gives the entire 

grove incredible stability and acts as 

a huge nutrient storage facility that 

the aboveground canes draw upon. 

Leptomorph bamboos are ideal for 

ground stabilization and erosion control 

because of their ability to weave the 

existing soil together. The running 

rhizome system can spread indefinitely 

(with the right growing conditions).

FLOWERING 

HAPPENS 

The odd phenomenon of 

bamboo flowering is called 

“gregarious bamboo flowering”. 

Plants of many bamboo species 

will flower simultaneously everywhere 

in the world. To say a bamboo species 

is a clone of itself the world over is 

an oversimplification, but, in essence, 

that’s what it is. Clumping bamboos 

seem to completely die after flowering, 

while spreading timber bamboos can 

eventually generate new growth. This 

process can take so long that most 

gardeners remove their flowered-out 

running bamboo to eliminate the deadappearing 

grove. Some bamboos 

can grow up to 120 years before 

flowering while others flower every 

60 years. Some species, triggered by 

environmental conditions, can flower 

more frequently. Generally, growth 

is vibrant for all the years leading to 

a flowering event. When buying a 

bamboo listed as a new generation 

bamboo seedling, you hopefully won’t 

see it flower again in your lifetime! 

Flowering and the resulting die-off 

of the mother plant leave a bare 

site in not only the garden but also 

wherever that species was planted 

or grew indigenously. This could be 

discouraging for anyone that has a 

stunning planting of a single species 

of bamboo – as well as for the retailer 

who unknowingly sells a bamboo 

species that suddenly happens to 

gregariously flower. We suggest 

planting screens of mixed species 

and/or cultivars to ensure longevity. 

Flowering records exist for some 

species but not all, so bamboos are 

occasionally sold into the trade and 

begin to flower. 

BooShoot works to ascertain the 

current flowering records to avoid 

such hardships. When possible we 

start a new generation of plants 

from seed.

BAMBOO CONTAINMENT 

PLASTIC BARRIERS 

Most bamboo growers recommend a 

60 ml high-density polyethylene plastic 

material for in-ground physical barrier 

systems. These systems are ideal for 

groundcover bamboo and a few of 

the mid-size running bamboo. Plants 

less than 6 to 8 feet in height typically 

have smaller rhizomes that are easily 

controlled by plastic barriers. 

The barrier is sunk into the ground 

around the grove perimeter, leaving a 

two-inch lip above ground. A stainless 

steel clamping system is used to fasten 

the two ends of the barrier together. 

The barrier lip must be checked yearly 

to ensure no rhizomes have crept 

over the barrier, rooting into adjacent 

soils. If escaping rhizomes are found, 

they must be cut off inside the barrier 

perimeter and removed. 

This barrier can be used very 

successfully with minimal care and 

maintenance, as long as it is used 

in conjunction with a small running 

bamboo. 

CONCRETE BARRIERS 

As bamboo becomes more common 

in commercial applications, concrete 

barriers are becoming a favorite 

option. The concept is essentially the 

same as the plastic barriers, although 

concrete is stronger and more durable. 

Forms are poured directly into the 

ground to form a perimeter around 

the grove, with only a slight lip 

extending above the surface of the soil 

(which should be checked for straying 

rhizomes). 

Often, concrete barriers are used 

above ground level to act as large 

planters or containers. To ensure 

optimal health of the bamboo, these 

systems must have adequate drainage 

and must be appropriately sized 

according to the bamboo they are to 

contain (minimum of 18 to 24 inches 

deep and 36 to 48 inches wide). 

Concrete barrier systems can effectively 

contain a large running bamboo, as 

long as they are properly installed and 

maintained. 

MAINTENANCE BARRIERS 

Bamboo can effectively be controlled 

by seasonal root pruning. A 

maintenance barrier is a shallow trench 

(10-12 inches deep by 6-8 inches wide) 

that is either open or filled with a loose 

material (such as sand) that allows 

the rhizomes to pass through. This 

system can be very effective under the 

following conditions: 

1. The perimeter of the 

trench must be accessible 

to maintain the barrier. 

2. When rhizomes are 

actively growing 

(midsummer and again 

in fall), inspect the trench 

and remove rhizomes. 

Left unchecked 

rhizomes can establish 

permanently outside this 

perimeter within a year 

or two. 

PLANTERS AND CONTAINERS 

Many bamboos work wonderfully 

in aboveground planters. To ensure 

healthy and happy bamboo, follow the 

recommended guidelines: 

1. Only use bamboo varieties suitable 

for container planting. Many 

bamboos lend themselves well to 

this application, yet there are a 

few that will not tolerate such small 

quarters. 

2. Avoid ceramic or clay planters as 

the encircling rhizomes (running) 

may break the sides of the 

container. Whiskey barrels and 

wooden planters are ideal for 

bamboo, so long as the wood is 

not allowed to degrade. 

3. Use the largest container available 

when planting a timber species. 

Once the bamboo has filled the 

planter (3-4 years) it will need to be 

divided. 


GENERAL CARE 

WATERING 

New plantings require regular water 

the first 2 to 3 years to establish. Water 

thoroughly once or twice a week 

depending on weather conditions. 

RUNNING BAMBOO: Saturate the soil around 

the entire planting area to allow for 

rhizome expansion. 

CLUMPING BAMBOO: It is only necessary to 

water around the base of the plant. 

Once established, water 1 to 2 inches 

per week during the growing season 

(April through September). 

Bamboo will show signs of water stress 

(lack of water) by curling its leaves up 

in a “V” shape. Water immediately if 

this is noticed. 

Do not overwater bamboo. Make sure 

the planting has adequate drainage. 

Most bamboo will not grow well in 

water-logged soils. Where the soil 

is soggy, use water-tolerant bamboo 

species. Generally, symptoms of overwatered 

bamboo or bamboo planted 

in a wet site are excess yellowing 

foliage, rotting new canes, and leaf tip 

die-back. 

FERTILIZING 

Good fertilization practice is critical to 

maintaining a healthy bamboo grove. 

As the largest member of the grass 

family (Poaceae) bamboo requires a 

good nutrient supply. 

ORGANIC FERTILIZERS 

Manure is a great source of nitrogen. 

Use well rotted and certified “weed 

free” manure. Most packaged manures 

can be used immediately. Manure is 

best applied in the fall. The fluctuating 

temperatures of winter help to break 

down the manure, resulting in available 

nitrogen by spring. 

Note: Avoid fresh manure; if applied 

directly to the planting it can burn 

newly developing feeder roots. 

Many organic lawn fertilizers are 

formulated especially for grasses and 

are ideal for bamboo. 

Fish emulsion, sea-bird guano, bat 

guano, worm castings, and cottonseed 

meal are great sources of nitrogen. 

Follow recommended rates for each 

product. 

CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS 

EARLY SPRING: Apply a quick soluble, 

high-nitrogen fertilizer to bamboo 

groves. Fertilizers formulated for 

lawns are usually quite compatible 

with bamboo. Follow manufacturer’s 

directions when applying the product. 

Apply the quick soluble product every 

2 to 3 weeks until mid spring. 

MID SPRING: Apply a slow release 

fertilizer to feed the groves throughout 

the remainder of the year. Most 

time-released or slow-released lawn 

fertilizers have the perfect nutrient 

formulation for bamboo. 

THINNING 

Running bamboo groves can be kept 

as thin or as dense as desired. Once 

a particular cane is cut, it will never 

again grow in height. 

Always keep a combination of new 

and old canes in the grove. For a 

healthy grove of timber bamboo, 

remove old, dying, dead, weak, and 

leaning canes, but never remove more 

than 30% from the grove. 

Bamboo can be “legged-up”, or 

trimmed from the base of the cane 

upwards, to increase air circulation 

and sunlight to the rhizome system. This 

will promote earlier shoot initiation and 

show off the canes’ beauty. 

Clear-cut or mow groundcover bamboo 

late winter/early spring to get rid of 

old canes and maintain a compact 

appearance. The ensuing new 

growth will be healthy, vibrant, and 

outstanding in appearance. 

Clumping bamboos require very little 

maintenance, except for occasional 

removal of dead or damaged canes. 


WINTER CARE 

With most bamboo, extra winter 

protection is unnecessary. In regions 

of USDA Zone 6b and lower, we 

recommend an application of 3 to 

four inches of organic material such 

as compost or bark, around the base 

of the plant in late fall. This helps to 

insulate and protect the root system. 

It is important to adequately water the 

planting throughout the winter season. 

In regions of extended periods of 

freezing weather combined with high 

winds and no moisture, the bamboos 

can desiccate. To avoid this, water 

the planting monthly depending on 

weather conditions. 

PESTS 

Very few pests affect the temperate 

bamboo. With proper care and 

management, most pest problems can 

be avoided. The most common vectors 

and general control remedies are listed 

below. 

INSECTS 

BAMBOO MITES: These are specific to 

bamboo and native to Japan with no 

known predators indigenous to the US. 

The best way to avoid these mites is 

to purchase material guaranteed mite 

free. Should a mite infestation occur, 

use a miticide and spray the lower 

side of the foliage thoroughly. Several 

applications may be necessary. 

In extreme infestation, mites can be 

controlled by the “slash and burn” 

technique. NOTE: This should only be 

done in the early spring season before 

the bamboo has begun to put up its 

new shoots and NEVER be used on a 

clumping bamboo. 

Cut all existing canes to ground 

level. Remove debris completely, as 

mites reside on the leaves as well as 

in the leaf litter. 

Set fire to the base of the plant. This 

will burn any mites harboring in the 

leaf litter or that have fallen from the 

canes when the clear cutting was 

done. 

Apply a small amount of nitrogen 

fertilizer and wait for new shoots 

to emerge. Monitor shoots for mite 

damage. If only a few leaves show 

damage, remove by hand and 

discard. 

APHIDS: Infestations can occur any 

time and can be worse in overgrown, 

congested groves. Sooty mold is a 

telltale sign characterized by a black, 

shiny covering on the upper surface 

of the foliage. Most broad-spectrum 

insecticides will work on aphid 

outbreaks. Organic products such 

as safe soap, neem oil, and pepper 

spray may be effective as well. When 

bamboo is small and aphid populations 

are low, spray with a hard jet of water 

to kill aphids. 

ANIMALS 

SLUGS AND SNAILS: These feed on 

tender new shoots making small 

holes in the new canes. As these 

canes harden, the holes often 

become larger, destabilizing the 

strength of the cane. Particularly 

vulnerable are thin-walled species. 

Apply slug bait around the groves in 

late winter and again in the spring 

to discourage activity. Beer traps are 

an organic alternative to slug bait. 

LIVESTOCK: Chickens, goats, cattle, 

and horses can become fond of 

bamboo as fodder, as it is high in 

protein, nutritious, and delicious. 

Planting outside the reach of 

livestock is the prudent way to avoid 

the foraging. 

RABBITS: Because they eat the 

new shoots and young leaves of 

bamboo, rabbits can be a nuisance. 

Most damage is done to new 

plantings. Try fencing in the plants 

when they are small to keep the 

rabbits away. 

VOLES: These creatures love to feed 

on shoots and rhizomes. Keep 

lower branches trimmed up and the 

ground clean to remove the voles’ 

natural cover. Tracking powders can 

be effective for treating voles.
