We have some great deals on large, balled and burlaped Arrow bamboo, along with others.
We will deliver free within 50 miles of Birmingham, Al. Call me at 205 283 5638 to order.
Below are 12 large bamboo plants we delivered to Birmingham recently.

These large Arrow Bamboo field specimens were delivered to an address in Birmingham today. These will be planted about every 3 to 4 feet along a concreted lined drainage ditch. You can see the building they want to hide. This should be a dense screen within a couple of years.

The plants averaged about 10 feet tall, some almost 12. All had a large number of canes with 15 inch rootballs. We spaced them out along the back fence and she will have them planted over the next couple of days. We expect rain tonight so they are in good shape. You can feel the humidity in the air.

This was the smallest plant, about 8 feet tall (we included it free). This was placed in an area
that will provide privacy to the deck you can see in the upper background.

I have been digging for the past couple of weeks. I spent the last few days potting all these up and moving everything to the holding area where I keep most shipping sized plants. I dug Giant Gray Henon, Green Onion, Arrow, Giant Leaf, Beautiful, Palmata, Japanese Timber, and Yellow Groove. I 've made sure to get lots of #3 and #5 size plants along with the many #2 size. I hope to divide some carnivorus plants soon. These can be seen at my othe web site Big Plants.

This is a south facing wall of the underground house looking out onto a sunken courtyard. This provides some passive solar heat on the tile floor.This is looking down into the atrium. The sun moves across the wall during the day. The blinds are inside the windows and can be adjusted to allow all light in or non at all. The overhanging slate roof above provides shade when the sun is higher and hotter in the summer. As you can see from the shadows of the tree trunks, the area is mostly shade anyway when leaves are on the trees. The pipes on the left are a huge set of chimes that a freind made for us.

The pond is finally full. We've had enough rain to send it over the spilway but just barely. It looks nice. I see a glimmer of gold from the fish and wonder just how many baby fish there will be this spring (see below). I have to get a few large bass. I've been digging (that goes on most all winter) and cutting out some dead canes to clean up the groves. WIth cold weather we've started some indoor projects.
