Product Information

Visit gardens that feature lots of bamboos, such as the RHS Garden Wisley, and see which ones you like best. Tropical, contemporary and Japanese gardens often feature many bamboos. Native to China, this plant is primarily harvested for timber, and its canes are incredibly smooth and glossy. When young, the plants have an emerald green hue. They eventually fade to yellowish-green upon aging. Several Asian cultures, including that of the Andaman Islands, believe humanity emerged from a bamboo stem. This bamboo can attain a height of up to 35m. That’s a multiple of nearly 60 in the heights of the two species.

Keeping bamboo plants at home is believed to bring peaceful energy. It represents flexibility and freedom and therefore, people prefer to keep it in the office environment, as well. The bamboo plant arrangement also represents the five elements of earth, the foundation of a harmonious universe.

In Japan, the Chinese "Three Friends of Winter" ( kansai sanyū) concept is traditionally used as a ranking system, where pine ( 松 matsu) is the first rank, bamboo ( 竹 take) is the second rank, and plum ( 梅 ume) is the third rank. This system is used in many traditional arts like with sushi sets, embroidering kimono or tiers of accommodations at traditional ryōkan taverns.

Bamboo, one of the " Four Gentlemen" (bamboo, orchid, plum blossom and chrysanthemum), plays such an important role in traditional Chinese culture that it is even regarded as a behavior model of the gentleman. As bamboo has features such as uprightness, tenacity, and modesty, people endow bamboo with integrity, elegance, and plainness, though it is not physically strong. Countless poems praising bamboo written by ancient Chinese poets are actually metaphorically about people who exhibited these characteristics. An ancient poet, Bai Juyi (772–846), thought that to be a gentleman, a man does not need to be physically strong, but he must be mentally strong, upright, and perseverant. Just as a bamboo is hollow-hearted, he should open his heart to accept anything of benefit and never have arrogance or prejudice.

According to Kerri Dall from Scottish Bamboo: “Our favourite varieties of bamboos are the clumping Fargesia varieties, mainly because they are very well behaved and non-spreading. With very tall bamboos, which can be difficult to spray, cut down canes to soil level in late winter and then apply a glyphosate-based weedkiller(e.g. Roundup Ultra or Doff Weedout Extra Tough Weedkiller) to the young growth in late spring and early summer. Several treatments may be needed

Here are twelve popular types of Bamboo which can be grown in the UK, including some very special varieties, which have been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM): 1) Phyllostachys nigra (AGM) This is relatively easy with smaller bamboos, but with a tall plant it can be a major undertaking, so is not always practical. It is probably a two-person job to dig out a large clump, and you will need to use a saw to cut through the rootball. Replant only the younger rhizomes and canes. Dwarf white striped bamboo or Pleioblastus variegatus is a smaller variety and one which is far better suited to courtyards or smaller gardens.With bamboos that have particularly attractive canes, you can remove some of the lower foliage that often hides them. Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, [13] due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 91 centimetres (36 inches) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 1 + 1⁄ 2in) an hour (equivalent to 1mm every 90 seconds). [14] Growth up to 47.6 inches (156 centimeters) in 24 hours has been observed in the instance of Japanese giant timber bamboo ( Phyllostachys bambusoides). [15] This rapid growth and tolerance for marginal land, make bamboo a good candidate for afforestation, carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. [16] [17] [18] A similar method is undertaken, but with the base of the culm standing in fresh water, either in a large drum or stream to leach out sap. Bamboo is not only a symbol of a gentleman, but also plays an important role in Buddhism, which was introduced into China in the first century. As canons of Buddhism forbids cruelty to animals, flesh and egg were not allowed in the diet. The tender bamboo shoot ( sǔn 筍 in Chinese) thus became a nutritious alternative. Preparation methods developed over thousands of years have come to be incorporated into Asian cuisines, especially for monks. A Buddhist monk, Zan Ning, wrote a manual of the bamboo shoot called Sǔn Pǔ ( 筍譜) offering descriptions and recipes for many kinds of bamboo shoots. [107] Bamboo shoot has always been a traditional dish on the Chinese dinner table, especially in southern China.
