Tight fit today putting in a pruning trench in Greensboro. Sorry for the radio silence folks we've just been so busy this year that haven't had a chance to really put up much on social media.

Bamboo Clearance!

We've had a busy spring so far in removing, containing, and planting bamboo. Apologies for the lack of updates!

At the nursery, our spring bamboo is almost sold out, just 25 pots left that we're selling at a discount. Then, we'll get another batch in September - so place your orders ahead of time!

Here's what we have left, selling everything at wholesale cost!
(7) 7-gallon black bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra) - $161 regularly, $111 sale
(5) 3-gallon dwarf Bisset (Phyllostachys bissetii 'Dwarf') - $97 regularly, $67 sale
(4) 3-gallon stone bamboo (Phyllostachys angusta) - $86 regularly, $60 sale
(4) 3-gallon Flavescns Inversa bamboo (Phyllostachys aurea 'Flavescens Inversa) - $86 regularly, $60 sale
(3) 3-gallon red margin bamboo (Phyllostachys rubromargina) - $86 regularly, $60 sale
(2) 3-gallon red temple bamboo (Semiarundinaria fastuosa) - $97 regularly, $67 sale

All of these bamboos are great for screening, and all but red margin are in the 15'~25' range. Red margin is much taller.

New blog post about how we insulate & plant bamboo in stock tanks. This works with other plants, too.

Stock tanks can be a great option for planting bamboo: they're durable and cheap. However, during the winter and summer, they can be harsh on bamboo rhizomes, which tend to hit the inside and wrap...

In Richmond VA right now. Nearing a three month hard push to complete lots of removal/containment (and a couple planting) jobs. Almost zero days off. Rest coming soon!

We've been busy doing a lot of great projects, but for those of you who want bamboo, I have the best news you've heard all year: we have a couple more weeks of selling our bamboo and that will be it. I've started to give massive deals to customers who will come by the nursery and pick out what they want. It's too low to even print here, sometimes over 75% off. And guess what? I'm OPEN TO TRADES. Let me know what good or service you might have before I cut all this off and plant it all at our nursery.

Here are some pictures of some recent projects - get inspired. Text me 919.943.1048 to make an appointment to come out to the nursery at 5775 Hwy 54, Mebane, NC 27302. As of this writing, we still have 450 really nice plants available. Don't miss out.

New removal, thinning, and pruning trench installed in Hillsborough. These fine customers bought the bamboo from us six years ago. It was time to install containment.
