Christmas trees made out of bamboo?

When I was surfing the net yesterday, I was searching for a special Christmas tree then suddenly dump up in to a blog that I quote:

"When I lived in the Philippines, we had a Christmas tree assembled out of bamboo. Every year I search online for a source for these, but this year, as previously, I've come up empty. Does anyone know who sells them? It was my understanding at the time that they were very common (there), but now all trace of them seems to have vanished."

Clumping Bamboo Used as a Privacy Hedge in Sout Florida

Here is a nice install and use of clumping bamboo as a hedge done by one of my www.bambooplantsonline.com customers. This is a story of a guy in a gated Palm Beach community who just didn't want to see his neighbors. The variety of bamboo he chose to install is bambusa textilis "gracilis" otherwise known as Gracilis or "graceful Bamboo". It is a very ornamental bamboo and will grow to 25'+ if not kept after by trimming. This install is about 2 years old and the owner says he has had little difficulty in keeping it beautiful and well behaved at only 12' tall! The 3 gallon pots were originally planted on 5' centers, for a thick, quick, screen. He does little in the way of maintenance other than using my 12 month Polyon Slow release fertilizer and keeping the ants off with imidiclorapird. The owner also had a microjet irrigation system installed to supercharge growth, as he was anxious to gain desired privacy. The hedge is trimmed at least 2 times a year and as it matures the owner will have do his best to shift gears and begin to slow its growth. Eventually the owner will have to remove some of the new shoots as they emerge, to control & stifle the overall girth and growth of the clump.There are several simple tactics used to control the growth of larger clumping bamboo, when used in smaller landscape settings. Restricting the overall growth of the clump can be achived by tactics as agressive as pruning the outer sections of the rhizome (root) ball with a shovel or sharp spade, or as simple as kicking over new soft shoots that are growing too close or in an undesireable location. I just wanted to share this picture and story to show that Larger Clumping Bamboo like Gracilis can be used in smaller landscape situations. Just make sure you and your gardener understand what you are doing and what bamboo species you are working with. As always I am glad to share what I know, Just email me or check out my site www.bambooplantsonline.com - Happy growing -scott

Difference Between Running And Clumping Bamboo

There are two kind of bamboo, Running Bamboo and Clumping Bamboo. What’s the difference? Clumping bamboos are bamboos that grow tall beautifully and don’t need lots of growing space because it grows with rhizomes pattern that is to simply expand the root mass gradually, similar to ornamental grasses. While on the other hand Running bamboos are plants that badly need attention to grow because of its aggressive nature. They spread mainly through their roots and/or rhizomes, which can spread widely underground and send up new culms to break through the surface.
