Tennessee Gardening

Bamboo

16 years ago

Hello:

My wife and I would like to plant some bamboo to screen our yard from an adjacent commercial development. Can anyone tell me what type will grow well in middle Tennessee? We would like to plant some that will grow thick and tall. We would also like to know if there are any places in the area to obtain bamboo, or if anyone has any they could spare.

Thank You,

Randy

One of the Mosa species. Some of these get really big.
