Bamboo Hedging

Bamboo is a highly desirable and attractive plant for garden hedging. Bamboo hedging can create large, attractive clumps that serve as structure or add privacy to your garden. The leaves of bamboo are borne on small branches that encircle the canes. Proper care and routine maintenance ensure your bamboo hedging remains healthy and visually appealing, read below to find out how to care for your Bamboo properly. Carry on reading to find the perfect Bamboo type for you...

What are the different types of Bamboo?

Fargesia – Fargesia are smaller bamboo varieties that are perfect for hedging or screening, reaching 2-3 meters tall. While they can screen a road or a single-story structure, they won't be tall enough to block upstairs windows. If you need a taller screen, Phyllostachys bamboo is a better choice. However, if you prefer beauty in a smaller package, these varieties are ideal.

Phyllostachys - Phyllostachys, a popular running bamboo, is favoured for its fast growth rate and dense clump formation. This stiffly upright bamboo has grooved canes that start bright mid-green and mature to brown-yellow, with narrow, pointed, yellowish to golden-green leaves. It thrives in fertile soil with full sun or dappled shade, protected from strong winds, and can grow from 2.5 to 8 meters tall in ideal conditions.

Pseudosasa - Pseudosasa, or arrow bamboo, produces dense thickets of hollow canes ideal for blocking wind, hedging, and screening unwanted views. They are wind and shade-tolerant, thriving in fertile, well-drained soil with sun or partial shade. Maintain them by removing unwanted, dead, or damaged branches and by dividing them. Pseudosasa Japonica is a fast-growing variety with olive green canes that mature to pale beige and feature dark green, oblong leaves, reaching a height of 6-8 meters. 

Planting Bamboo

Immerse new plants in water immediately after removing them from their pots. Dig the planting hole so the root ball sits slightly deeper than its original depth, allowing a thin layer of soil over the top. Firmly backfill the hole. As they are very shallow-rooted, apply a thick mulch of bark, compost and manure. Keep the plants well-watered for the next 3-6 months until they are established and continue to water during prolonged dry spells. Thoroughly soak the soil to ensure water reaches the roots; avoid sprinkling. Protect the plants from cold, drying winds to prevent leaf desiccation.

Growth

Bamboo Hedging can achieve impressive heights, with some varieties growing up to 8 meters tall and an annual growth rate of 30-50cm. Its moderate to fast growth makes it easy to manage, ensuring it stays within your desired height with regular pruning.

To maintain a healthy and attractive bamboo hedge, it's beneficial to remove any seed heads or flowering stems. This helps the plant concentrate its energy on developing strong, lush canes rather than producing flowers or seeds. However, this step is optional depending on your preferences.

Caring Tips for Bamboo

Pruning Bamboo

Prune bamboo to maintain a manageable size and healthy growth. Throughout the year, remove any weak, dead, damaged, or spindly canes by cutting them to ground level with secateurs or loppers, and clearing debris at the base. To showcase the luxurious and shiny canes, remove some foliage from the bottom of the canes by snapping offside branches with a swift downward motion (wearing gloves) or cutting them back with secateurs for a smooth finish. This will allow more airflow to the canes to prompt better growth. In spring, bamboo leaves often turn yellow and drop, a normal process as new leaves emerge. Some old leaves may turn papery and brown, remaining attached to the plant long after they have finished their cycle.

Watering Bamboo

Bamboos need frequent, generous watering when first planted. In the first growing season, water twice a week in mild weather and 3-4 times a week during hot summer days. Insufficient water on hot, dry, windy days can cause weak growth. As plants establish, they develop drought tolerance. Ensure excess water drains away to prevent roots from sitting in water for over 24 hours. The area should drain well and not become waterlogged.

Feeding Bamboo

This can be done in late spring and summer with a general-purpose granular fertiliser and renew the mulch layer.

Cold Weather Care

If temperatures are forecasted to drop below freezing, wrap your bamboo plant in bubble wrap or horticultural fleece until the weather warms up. For potted bamboo, the roots are more exposed to winter frosts. In colder regions of the UK, it's wise to wrap the pot in fleece or bubble wrap, or even move it indoors as a preventative measure during winter.

Likes

Bamboos are fantastic shrubs that can be used in a whole range of different ways to create stunning results in your garden. They are fast-growing, and certain varieties can reach up to five metres in height, meaning these woody perennial evergreens can be ideal if you’re looking to create an attractive year-round privacy screen. With their distinctive, exotic look, these plants will give you that jungle feel in your garden. They are also hardy and easy to care for.

Dislikes

Bamboos do not like being left to dry out they always need to be in moist or damp conditions to help them thrive at their best. Bamboo is usually trouble-free but may occasionally suffer from rust or root rot. In some years, bamboo aphids may become a problem.

Signs of Pests and Disease: How to care for you poorly Bamboo

  • Rust disease – Rust is a fungal disease spread by water, wind, or insects. It appears as brown or orange patches on the underside of foliage, causing the leaves to dry up and drop off. 
  • Root Rot – Rotting roots are soft, mushy, and brown, whereas healthy roots should be white and firm. Signs of root rot in the plant include discolouration and texture changes on the canes and foliage. 
  • Bamboo Aphids – Bamboo aphids are generally not very harmful to your bamboo plant, causing only cosmetic damage. They feed on the underside of leaves where plant sap is stored. As they consume the sap, they excrete honeydew, which can promote the growth of black, sooty mould.
