Our specialty is Landscape Grade Bamboos. Normally
they are spec-ed as 8-10 feet or better with a 3-cane
average in a 15-18” rootball. Specifications for heavier
cane counts and/or taller plants in larger rootballs can be
ordered at proportional prices.

Since all of our Bamboos are field divisions, it is difficult to
price all sizes in advance. Once we know your specs, we can
give you a quote; or if we know your purpose and budget, we
can recommend plants to suit.

Since all plants are custom dug and stabilized for 30 days or
more, we need a 20% deposit at least 6 weeks before the
material is required. The digging “window” is roughly 1
January to mid-March and again mid-August to mid-November
(depending, of course, on species and even year).

Bamboos can be dug anytime except when the ground is
frozen or when actively making new shoots (for most
species this is in April, May & June). If your job and time
frame makes it absolutely necessary for us to dig during
this time, we will try to accommodate but will require a
50% surcharge to cover the losses and extra work in
stabilization entailed.
