Bambusa textilis Gracillis

As we are rethinking our landscaping plan we went to Mr Bamboo to get some advice on which type of bamboo we could use as a screen between us and our neighbour to the South of our land. The plan we lodged (in a hurry) with our DA included Tiger Grass for screening but we prefer bamboo.

The people at Mr Bamboo were very helpful. Our plant of choice is Bambusa textilis Gracillis, more commonly named Slender Weaver. Not only we like the look but also this bamboo is suitable for growing in shade (this is the South side of our house). Perfect.

Slender Weaver grows up to 6 metres (but we will trim it to 3 metres)
