'Campbell' bamboo /Fargesia robusta 'Campbell'

A dense, upright, non-invasive clump-forming bamboo that makes a good screening plant up to at least 4 metres in height. A good choice if you want to block out an unsightly view at the end of the garden. It will reach its final height in approximately three years. Like other Fagesia bamboo, it forms a dense clump but does not send out 'invase' underground rhizomes.

This bamboo grows in sun to light light shade and fertile, rich soil. Like most bamboos, it prefers shelter from windy positions. For vigorous, healthy growth, we recommend adding some manure or 'Gee-up' around the base of the plant when planting. The upright canes are a vivid green, with long thin leaves. Keep watered after planting: a soaker hose is ideal if planting in warm weather.

As a hedge / screen, space approx 60cm apart. Bamboos are not generally suited for exposed sites such as balconies unless sheletered from strong winds. If planted in a container, use a substantial pot, using rich compost that includes manure as well as soil or John Innes compost. 

Plants are +/- 120cm tall, Irish-grown, 7 litre pots.
