Palmco proudly grows the highest quality selection of field grown Florida Fancy (FF) palms and added exquisite varieties of clumping bamboo to our product line in 2011. We offer 15 varieties of tropical and subtropical clumping bamboo and are one of the largest palm and bamboo plantations in North America with over 600 acres in production.

Palmco grows only the non-invasive clumping varieties of bamboo. Unlike running bamboo, which has a reputation for spreading quickly to take over a landscape, our clumping bamboos do not need containment when planted in the ground and will not escape from containers.

About Tropical Blue Bamboo

Sometimes called Emperor’s Blue Bamboo or White Bamboo, Tropical Blue Bamboo is a rare but popular medium-tight clumping bamboo from Southern China.  It features light green leaves and nicely spaced thin-walled culms that develop a spectacular powder-like, white waxy bloom that gives them a pale blue appearance.

Bambusa chungii requires a little more room than other tight clumping varieties. Under ideal conditions (in full sun and good fertile soil), it will reach its maximum height of about 35 feet with 2-inch diameter culms in just a few years.

Tropical Blue Bamboo is cold hard to 20°F and tolerates wind, rain and dry conditions (with irrigation) while remaining beautiful. It is most spectacular as an ornamental or as a dense privacy hedge.

Many Uses for Clumping Bamboo

Clumping bamboo can be used in landscaping in many different ways, such as:

  • Privacy screens
  • Living fences
  • Hedges
  • Driveway plantings
  • Noise barriers
  • Windbreaks
  • Storm barriers
  • Dramatic focal pieces
  • Backdrops for other tropical plants
  • Soil stabilizer on slopes and river banks

Clumping bamboo can help you define separate spaces on a large property. Build a bamboo wall between a swimming pool and playground. Screen off garages and work areas or to block an unpleasant view.

Some varieties make excellent container plants for patios and poolside planting. Tall, erect varieties are beautiful when used as avenue plantings, and specimen clumpers can create a spectacular focal point in a landscape.

When provided with optimal growing conditions, clumping bamboos will grow fast and reach their mature height in as little as 4 years. Species like Oldhamii Bamboo, for example, can grow 2 to 3 feet each day during the summer growing season!
