Carolina Gardening: Need Well Behaved Bamboo in New Bern, 1 by Entlie

Well my Thamnocalamus Tessellatus arrived from Bamboo Headquarters and we planted it within the hour of its arrival. The packaging was great - it came in a tall cardboard box, in a 5 gallon black plastic pot that had been wrapped with Saran wrap type stuff to keep the plant from shifting in the pot or the dirt from falling out.

In the photo I have written "New Bamboo" directly under the plant so you can determine which one it is in the landscape. I am hoping for a beautiful clump of bamboo to that becomes part of our screen in the event someone builds behind us some day.

FYI, Bamboo Headquarters is in Vista, CA, and their web site is bambooheadquarters.com
