About Bamboo
by Bamboo Down Under |Bamboos are giant grasses!
With our blocks becoming ever smaller, the need for our privacy increases - which is where clumping bamboo can help! We have species of bamboo for every need - a two storey screen to block out those nosey neighbours, a bushy hedge to cover up that ugly fence, or a beautiful feature plant for that bare spot.
Bamboo is a drought tolerant plant once established, and can grow in full sun to full shade. So whatever you need, we have the species for you!
Bamboo is the fastest growing land plant, generally reaching maturity within 3.5 years. Bamboo will create a magnificent screen or feature plant within just 12-18 months!
Not only is bamboo one of the most beautiful plants in the World, it is also one of the most versatile!
They provide strong and lightweight timber for building and furniture.
The varied types, textures, colours and width of the many species can be easily woven into finely crafted baskets, hats and screens.
Many are also a source of edible shoots.
Bamboo pulp can be made into everything from paper to durable clothing! Pop into our giftshop and pick yourself up some bamboo socks & undies!
They make great windbreaks, noise barriers and screens.
They are useful for soil stability on dam walls and river banks.
Bamboo pumps up to 3 times as much oxygen into the air, making it a wonderful carbon-positive addition to your garden!
