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.

which bamboo

18 years ago

I would like to plant Vivax, Heungwhenzhu a timber bamboo in a 12 ' x 6 ft bed with the proper rhizome barrier all the way around. I decided on the Vivax because it is tall and has thick culms. Do you think I made the right choice? Should I consider other alternatives given my needs and the size of the bed? Any ideas? It is a very sunny spot. I live in Abbotsford, BC in Zone 8. I would like the bamboo to be tall and have thick culms and also to be stable and not drop in the wind or rain. I want it for privacy and for looks.

Also, will the size of the bed restrict the tallness of my bamboo and it's culms. If so by how much? Thanks

Thank you for your help. Please email me at yesright@hotmail.com
