## Questions & Answers

**Q: I just received plant..Can I divide into two..if yes, how?**
A: I pulled them apart at the roots and made 3 pots. I will plant in spring

**Q: Is this a clumping bamboo?**
A: Bisset's bamboo is considered by horticulturists as a leptomorph bamboo: the underground rhizomes tend to grow horizontally with long nodes. This is the reason that leptomorph bamboos spread quickly, not maintaining a tight clumping habit, but a spreading thicket of stems. Leptomorph rhizomes in the Phyllostachys genus also grow close to the soil surface. Bisset's bamboo, on average, can spread 2 to 4 feet outward annually. This means a plant clump of stems or culms 3 feet wide in year one can become 7 to 11 feet wide by the end of the second year.

**Q: Acceptable times of year to plant these?  Spring? Fall?**
A: As my plants are container grown, it is acceptable to plant Spring through Fall.  However, if you do not have an irrigation system, please plant early enough in the fall that they will have time (4 to 6 weeks) to settle before freezing temperatures.

**Q: How long to reach 20' in shade, zone 6a? Want to fill in below tall pine trees which lost lower limbs under 20'.**
A: The growth rate varies depending on where the bamboo is planted (sub, shade, planter/pot, in-ground).  Mine is out in full sun and grows approximately 2-3 inches per day with watering every couple days.  It is in a planter and I don't expect it to get much higher than 5 or 6 feet.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived extremely well packaged and in wonderful condition
*by R***S on May 22, 2025*

It's only been in the ground a few days, but it arrived extremely well packaged and in wonderful condition. It's going strong in spite of being buffeted by winds all day for three days... That's one thing I didn't think of when choosing its location. Fingers crossed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust Large Plants!
*by A***R on June 27, 2020*

I received my order for 10 of these in late June and all were large vigorous plants. Plants were cleverly and carefully packed to preserve moisture. They have been in the ground for nearly 5 months now and have grown to 4-5 times initial size with numerous new shoots. If you are looking for bamboo plants I would look no further-I couldn't be more satisfied with the product and service. See the pictures-Initial and after 4 months! Would recommend 5 STARS!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice plants
*by M***H on March 10, 2021*

I bought this item for $49.00 last week. I went to reorder and it is now $65.00. Why? Beautiful healthy bamboo plant arrived well wrapped and well packaged with the roots well wrapped and sealed with plenty of moisture, secured inside the box with tape and twine, 2-3 weeks early, in excellent condition. The 2 1/2 pages of information is valuable and will be kept. Upon opening the box I detected the love and care that went into my new plant, and when I was reading the literature I knew it. Someone really loves and enjoys what he/she is doing. I will deal with them again, and highly recommend them.
