Bamboo Atrovaginata
Green Perfume This bamboo has only become available in 2007. A wonderful new find. This bamboo is an exceptional member of the group. Also known as the Incense bamboo its leaves have the smell of sandlewood. Bamboo Green Perfume is very good in landscape use. It has an erect upright habit and is ideal for water logged and boggy soils as its rhizomes have hollow air channels which will allow it to survive where other bamboos will not.

Bamboo Spectablis
Bamboo Phyllostachys aureosulcata spectabilis. Some times difficult to find. But if you are lucky enough to have one a most rewarding bamboo indeed. Spectabilis has a lovely form, colourful and robust with custard yellow canes and dark bronze green grooves, sometimes burnished with red on the young growth. This bamboo matures rapidly to become a good performer and shows well if kept in an open position with plenty of sun. Tolerant of acid soil.

Bamboo Aureosulcata
Bamboo Phyllostachys aureosulcata-’Aureocaulis’. An elegant tested hardy bamboo that can be trusted to behave. Lacking the vigour of its species it is not invasive so will not wander far. The canes are lemon yellow turning pink to orange in the sun occasionally the canes zigzags at the bottom. It makes an excellent specimen plant that performs well just about anywhere and looks particularly good against dark backgrounds.

Godess Tears
Bamboo Phyllostachys bambusoides lacrimadeae. ‘The Goddess Tears Bamboo.’ New from China comes an unusual ornamental form of this wonderful species which can be stunning. A remarkably beautiful bamboo. Symbol of loyalty to love in chinese culture. Naturally distributed from southern Yellow River to Yangtse River areas. It has a similar vigour and stature. Black-purple markings on mature canes make this different from all others. It has been greatly underestimated since its introduction and there are very few of these around as yet, but that won’t be the case for long. An admirable plant for a specimen.

Bamboo Glauca
Bamboo Phyllostachys glauca. From the alluvial planes of China comes this very profuse and remarkably exposure and soil tolerant species. It is very robust dealing with sandy soil, salt laden air and to some extent very wet locations well, providing it is not permanently waterlogged. Culms emerge covered with silvery blue powder bloom developing into green-blue young canes. Culm sheaths are green with a brushstroke of burgundy. This makes a formidable and architectural feature. It also crops so prolifically it can be cropped to supply your needs for garden canes.
