17 years ago

I have a area in my yard that backs to a commercial building that i don't like looking at. The area is by a very large Oak. Gets no sun at all in the summer. Deep shade for sure. Could i plant bamboo there that will grow a least 10 feet in my zone with so much shade? Don't wanna was my time and money. Help....

Some species of bamboo do fine in shade. For your application, I would suggest Pseudosasa japonica ("Arrow bamboo"). It's shade tolerant, widely available, and would eventually get to be 10'-15' high.
