The RHS have kindly allowed the text of the article
"Taming the Dragon" to be

in the September 1997 issue of The Garden, the Journal of the Royal
Horticultural Society, provides an excellent and comprehensive guide to
growing bamboos in containers. Their assistance and encouragement is most
appreciated. |
