Potted large diameter boo

19 years ago

Any suggestions for large diameter boo that will do well potted in a large or about a 40 gallon pot? I know if it does grow big and tall it may blow over but was looking for suggestions on replacement plants in my pots as all my potted palms didnt make it through the winter. I guess I could always prune the boo at about 8 ft so I could bring it inside during the winter but am also concerend if it would survive inside. Any suggestions of what type or breed to plant is appreciated...

If you want to prune it and bring it inside, you can always grow tropical clumping bamboo, it doesn't spread with runners like the phyllostachys do.

Here's a link to cold sensitive clumpers, http://www.bamboogarden.com/Tender%20bamboos.htm

and cold hardy ones (these don't grow as high), http://www.bamboogarden.com/Hardy%20clumping.htm
