| I bought three three gallon pots of Bambusa Dollichomerithalla. this weekend, and I'm going to plant them in a row along my patio.
How much space should I put between each one (and my patio), keeping in mind that they'll get much larger (and wider) than they currently are. As far as the effect I'm going for, I would like to have some space between the clumps, and have the foliage up top merge together. I'm not going for a thick wall of bamboo, per se. Thoughts? |

| If watered well and in good conditions such as well drained soil and if it does not freeze back in the Winter, it should form a clump(at the base) about three feet in diameter in it's third or fourth season, and spread six inches to a foot in diameter each season after that. Spreading can be controlled by just breaking off the new shoots that are unwanted, as they emerge in the Summer. I would guess 8 to 12 feet apart, depending on how much space you want between the clumps, and how far above the ground you want them to merge. Good Luck Kt |
