My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Clumping bamboos for Zone 5

18 years ago

Hi folks, I'm moving soon to the Hudson Valley in NY, southern end of Zone 5. I'd like to plant a clumping bamboo, just as a reminder of life out here. Anything ultimately 8 - 12 feet (or a little more) would be great. Suggestions? Many thanks, Wheelervirgil
