I am looking for a clumping type bamboo to plant as part of a landscaping screen at the back of our lot, near a drainage ditch which runs between our lot and a vacant lot where a house could be built in the future.
I thought I wanted Green Screen, but when I actually saw it (at Bamboo Headquarters in Vista, California) the stalks (what are these called?) were pretty thin. I have a vision of something about 12 - 15 ft. high, with stalks 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Environment would be part/part shade.
I love the bamboo stand at the Carl Sandburg House in Flat Rock, but suspect it is not clumping and therefore not well behaved.
Bamboo Headquarters recommended Borinda Boliana. Has anyone had any luck with something of this nature, and where can I get it without paying the big bucks to buy from Bamboo Headquarters?
Thanks in advance,
Entlie
