Growing a Fargesia rufa Bamboo Hedge

[Neil Ziemski]

Regarding the link to Parker's

Bamboo is often labelled incorrectly, even from the big companies.
I think that could be Fargesia jiuzhaigou.

build a large trough the length of the hedge site and make it wide and deep enough to hold plenty of moisture.

these bamboos don't grow that tall in my garden, about 4-5 foot in the ground and only 3 in pots

Good idea - about 50cm depth, 25cm height and width as long as the run?

if a hedge I'd go more like 1m back,1m down and the full length

I'll probably go as far down as the llaylandi roots will let me Free top soil and cheap scaffold boards sourced, just need a couple of dry weekends to get it started!
