Blue timber bamboo is truly one of the most valued species to most sellers and buyers. This bamboo really does look blue which is from its natural shade of green mixed with its white powdery coating, heavily saturated on Bambusa Chungii, giving off a blue tint. Does not grow many lower branches and any should be cut off to maximize beauty, showing off these blue timber sized bamboo shoots.

Finally to be packaged in 100% purified and we’ll moistened coco coir, lifespan just in the box alone has proven 2 months+. it’s damn near impossible to kill a well rooted and mature bamboo plant.

Root ball arrived dry and enclosed in brittle plastic, I soaked it for 24 hours before planting , and watered it heavily almost every day. No sign of any growth yet, I am not hopeful it will survive....great news , Sebastian contacted me and sent me a new rhizone , which was healthy with a new shoot...thanks Sebastian, great response....thumbs up

Looking forward to seeing it grow. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me and sharing your knowledge. Plant came with instructions and was well packaged! Update: Turned quickly to mush, contacted seller who promised to replace if nothing came of it after a month. I cared for it and nothing except further disintegration. No replacement or equal value variety received.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
When planting for a privacy fence, depending on species and your own preference, space out every 3ft to 8ft apart. (Seabeeze Bamboo - Within 1 year you will have a privacy screen, in two you will have a privacy wall, in three you will have a privacy impenetrable barrier.)
You want to dig holes wide rather than deep. Bamboo likes to stay shallow in the soil, which is why mulch is very important. Bamboo will naturally drop its own mulch as a survival mechanism, shielding its valuable and vulnerable rhizomes from the intense heat of the sun as well as freezing cold temperatures.
My rhizome is not growing
There are many reasons and outcomes to this question. Here is how we troubleshoot, your bamboo/ it’s rhizome should be planted relatively shallow, as gently as possible excavate out the rhizome in question. Many times just under the surface you will find healthy beautiful growth, if so replant and continue as was.
Other times we may find the soil was not porous enough and the growing buds molded off or not enough water and the growing buds dried out.
Those are the most common errors.
Be sure soil is well draining.
Be sure to top off and around generously with mulch
Be sure you are planting these plants/ rhizomes just below ground level, utilizing mulch to add protection and coverage.
Be sure to water plenty, especially at first.
