Raising Cane - Bamboos at Telly's


posted by Mike H.

Wow! Is it really May 21st already? I've been trying to grab a few minutes to let everyone know that our bamboo are absolutely fabulous are better than ever in Telly's perennial department this spring.


Who hasn't dreamed of a little exotic or oriental touch in their gardens? With hardy bamboo it is quite possible, and easy too.





Our clumping boos, Fargesia rufa, F. murialae and F. robusta are thick, lush, well behaved evergreens with a somewhat weeping habit. They are excellent focal points or screens for lightly shaded area of the yard, kind of like evergreen Japanes maples.

For those who want really bold, somewhat aggressive bamboo, we also carry Phyllostachys alata and P. bissettii. These plants are already close to ten feet tall and are rock hardy in our climate. The much sought after black bamboo, P. nigra, though not as hardy, is also available.
