Reintroducing Non-Invasive Bamboo
Forget everything you thought you knew about bamboo. Living Bamboo’s clumping bamboo varietals are non-invasive, easy to maintain, and perfect for structured landscaping use.
Where other screening plants take years to establish or need constant shaping, bamboo offers a fast, upright, and elegant solution—with the added benefit of year-round green foliage.

Maintenance & Care
- Clumping bamboo doesn’t spread uncontrollably like running bamboo. It grows in a tight clump and can be easily managed.
- Requires light pruning once or twice a year for shape and airflow
- Water regularly until established (6–12 months), then drought-tolerant
- Fertilise with high-nitrogen feed in spring/summer to boost growth
- Grows well in a range of soils and can handle full sun to part shade
Tips For Selling The Idea To Clients
- “This is not the invasive bamboo you’ve heard horror stories about.”
- “It’s a fast-growing privacy screen that’s sustainable and easy to maintain.”
- “Bamboo adds a resort feel—without the upkeep of a hedge.”
