B2.1 General
general - root balled bamboos - container grown bamboos
The overall height is significant in the purchase of bamboos, although less significant than the root condition and the number of canes/culms/shoots which is to be expected for the plant of that size.
Bamboos can be divided into three groups:
|
Dwarf: |
e.g. Pleioblastus
humilis var. pumilus (Arundinaria
pumilus) |
|
Medium: |
e.g. Fargesia
murieliae 'Simba' (Arundinaria
murieliae 'Simba') |
|
Vigorous: |
e.g Fargesia murieliae (Arundinaria
murieliae) |
Bamboos are available rootballed or container grown. However mainly supplied container grown.
