I have two Giant Timbers(B. oldhamii) in 14-inch pots and they are both over 22 feet tall.

I personally like the 25 gallon tubs that molasses come in from feed stores, they are much tougher than any plant pot that I have come across.

I assume you bought it from a reputable source and not Home Depot or Lowes, where they have bamboo that they call Giant Timber, but is something else, usually labeled Dendrocalamus strictus, which NOT Giant Timber.

If you buy a large pot, the bigger the better, although it makes it tougher to move if so desired.

Good Luck

It is Giant Timber, Oldhamii. I have some from a reputable source and the name on the tags and the look is the same. Wow, 22 feet in 14" pots that great. I love this bamboo.

Yes, it is a beautiful bamboo. Very erect and huge!

I posted some pictures last year of them in the gallery. You may be able to find them if they are still there.

I tried to search for bamboo or giant timber bamboo and nothing came up. Wasn't sure if I was doing it right. I would love to see some photo's and post some of my own.

Look in the gallery under the title, "Oldhamii, One Year Later..."
