Re: re: Bamboo

Do you have clumping bamboo, Melody? How does it fare in the hot summer? I haven't gotten any because I heard that while they are quite cold hardy (being from the hymalayas) they don't like a lot of heat, and you know what prairie summers can be like!

Zem: Not all bamboo is invasive. You just have to find the clumping
varieties. And it does make a lovely screen to hide unattractive
features of the landscape. Most bamboo I've seen in nurseries is very
clearly labeled as either clumping or spreading. The spreading kind is
downright hostile if living in a jungle is not what you want, though, so
be doubly sure! :-)

Zem, you need some of them 9' four oclocks!
LOL! Good idea. I've thought about some of the wild bamboo that grows
around here, but I know that in no time I'd be living in a forest of it. <LOL>
