They are two completely different types of bamboo. There are those who run and those of the tree.

This is the class running. You can imagine what they call, I bet running. These are the bamboo, you hear all the horror stories.

Perhaps it deserves the bad reputation, but only to some extent. It's not their fault that grow in this way, the way it is. What you need to run through this bamboo to know where and how to use it.

Now it is true that a running bamboo, it has definitely left a spirit of "self. I only have two personal experiences with running bamboo, say that in my own garden.

About 35 years ago, I tried to build a Japanese garden, with the bridge the pond, stream movement and so on. And, of course, a bamboo plant. At that time I knew very little about the difference between an operating and clumping bamboo but the Knight friendly bamboo that sold me the first I had advised me to ensure the root system is also included.

Back in the day, was common practice in the installation place within a concrete enclosure of at least two meters deep. Normally, the root of a bamboo execution is just below the soil surface, and an incredible range of travel in a single growing season. Today, root barriers are available to do the job same, such as concrete, without any problems. The roots have a tendency not too deep into the ground so that the bottom of the planting area can not be resolved.

Last year (2008) after several successful years of procrastination, could begin to recover my Japanese garden today. What he meant bamboo again. Only this time in a much larger scale.

Here in the west coast of Canada, we have a selection of bamboo suppliers, of which some hundreds of varieties available. It's a real pleasure to walk by so many varieties of bamboo, and the opportunity to ask questions directly to producers.

One of the best uses for bamboo is functioning as a windscreen. Now, before you go and hope for the old bamboo plant, which will a good picture for you is good check to make sure you have a good variety or varieties, as anyway.

Visit the website of the American Society of bamboo where you can learn from the best for their purposes.

Keep in mind that the majority of the growing new shoots appear in spring, from the side south of the plant. At least at this latitude (49 North). With this in mind, the bamboo plant on the north side, where you want to run. This way, you will find a large amount of instincts have come when needed. And in any case, think about the use of a root barrier bueno!

The barrier is in fact the leader of the underground roots and keep it contained. If you upload a root barrier, which happens not cut it right away! If you allow the roots away from you, are very difficult to remove. Much easier to keep at bay.

Bamboo You need little care, except it will tend to be thirsty. Do not forget to keep it watered.
