Hedge Bamboos
Bamboos in this section are our choice options for creating the most appealing and functional hedgerows. Heights range from 20 to 40 feet depending on the conditions of the planting location. We use the genera Phyllostachys and Semiarundinaria for their clumping and slight running habits. From deep green to glowing golden canes, we can help clients find the best evergreen back drop.
