Re: Bamboo

Sue, if you're thinking of an in-ground bamboo, as Rich and Auralie have said, you can likely find one that will grow well and behave itself in you neighborhood, but you will have to start with a root cutting or established plant. If, however, you're thinking of a pot plant, you might consider a clumping bamboo palm--such as Chamaedorea microspadix; it does very well in a pot indoors or out and can be grown from seed. [I even have some seeds from time to time if you're interested.]

I've always wanted to grow Bamboo but am aware it will not work in this
climate and is highly invasive, a real pain when planted. I would like to try
some in a pot. How deep do I need the pot for the roots? Do I need to start
with seedlings or can I find seeds? Will it work in shade or must it have
full sun? How about watering? Thanks much.
