| I posted a picture a while back in the gallery which is still on the first page. Go to the gallery and scroll down near the bottom to a post titled "Oldhamii, One Year Later..." In a small pot, the bamboo can never get tall and really dense. Personally, at least down here, I would grow one of the Bambusas, which are clumpers, and can sometimes go for a few years without repotting. Finding a tall one will be difficult for a small pot but a shorter dense one is very possible. I gave some B. multiplex 'Golden Goddess' to my neighbours a while back to use in pots on their deck for a privacy screen and it works well, but the bamboo remains only about six feet tall but they grow them in small pots. B. mult. 'Silverstripe' leans outward more than most of the Bambusas but I have never kept mine in a pot and it grows to only about 18 feet in the ground here. There are many Bambusas that grow well over 30 feet so you might look into them if you live in a warmer area. Kt |
