Bamboo makes a great privacy screen for blocking wind and noise and especially unwanted views. They range in heigth from a few feet to 70+ feet. Here is a selection of some popular screening bamboos.
These bamboos will all stay green to below zero. Some can be grown in zone 5 and colder. Several are great screening bamboos for colder climates. Being evergreen is one of the best features of bamboo.
A few of these bamboos can reach up to 70 feet in height and 6+ inches in diameter. Most are great timber bamboos for construction and crafts. Any of these would be a dramatic addition to your landscape!
Black Bamboo, Yellow with green stripes, green with yellow stripes, spotted bamboo, variegated bamboo, giant bamboo - these are some unique bamboos not commonly seen. Most make a dramatic impact on the landscape.
Bamboo comes in all sizes. These are small, some only a few inches tall. They make great groundcovers. These are the nano plants of the bamboo world!
With a little care you can grow bamboo indoors giving your home a tropical look. This is a selection of some good indoor bamboos but most any can be grown indoors if you have the right conditions.

| Seems all I've done for the past 2 months is dig bamboo. This is the
time of year when I must get my bamboo plants re-stocked and I must say it's been one of the best because it has rained 2 days out of three
for the past month and a half. This means the ground is nice and soft and 99.9% of the bamboo I dig survives the transplant. It also means I
haven't had to water the new plants at all. August and September are usually very hot and dry here in Alabamba so it's been quite a change from usual.
I've dug hundreds of Yellow Groove bamboo plants (my best seller) as well as Golden and Red Margin.
Black bamboo and giant Moso are always in high demand and I nearly always sell out. Over the years I've been planting Moso bamboo
and Black bamboo in lots of locations. It has really paid off and this year I've dug more Black and Moso than ever before. Hopefully I can meet the demand this year.
Along with these bamboos some others I've been digging include Giant Gray Henon Okuboi Giant Leaf Bamboo Sasa palmata Sasa vetchii Incense bamboo Many groundcover bamboos .... well you get the idea. My daughter-in-law helps me with the potting and I've really kept her busy this year. I know she's as tired of potting bamboo as I am but it's nice to get it done before the cold weather gets here. I picked up a couple hundred plants from her place today and my 2 year old grandson says "I potted these". I'm sure he was a big help! |
Building a barn at Jmbamboo Bamboo Nursery. We need more room to store boxes, pack bamboo, and enjoy our hobbies.

We
hope to have a blacksmith shop installed by winter. The equipment
includes a large hydraulic press, an automatic hammer, the forge and
anvil along with steel tables, grinders, vises, etc. Most of the large
hydraulic and electric tools were built by Larry (my late brother-in-law.)
The electric equipment is all 3 phase but we have a converter and
one of the son-in-laws ia an electrician who likes blacksmithing.
Mickey and I learned some basic blacksmithing skills and hope to learn
more once we get the shop set up. I've put up some images on this page.

After we finally finished our wireless network here at the bamboo nursery we were left with a tall, steel pole that looked kind of ugly. We discussed
ways to hide the pole and after some experimetation and some mild arguments we hit on an idea we both liked. I cut several large bamboo poles and we simply tied them
around the steel pole. We think it looks fine and since they are sitting on rocks (instead of the ground) they should last several years. This picture was taken in the
spring and since that time a vine we planted has grown around and up the bamboo poles. This gave the bamboo a nice look and we are quite pleased. The network has been
working fine all summer with very little outage. Much better than I expected and I love surfing the web at broadband speed rather than dial-up!
