Container Cultivation of bamboo

 

The cultivation of bamboo in containers is very rewarding. Just imagine a terracotta pot in the corner of a courtyard. Few plants can add as much structure and atmosphere than a graceful fountain of bamboo. An article written by Jon Ardle and published in the September 1997 issue of The Garden, the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, provides an excellent and comprehensive guide to this subject. The RHS have kindly allowed the text of the article to be reproduced on this web site. Their assistance and encouragement is most appreciated. Illustrations and photographs added to the article are from other sources.
