Description

One of the best Bamboo species we offer and a top seller, if you want a very dense, quick bamboo grove or privacy screen that will grow under almost any conditions: in cold and hot climates, in sun or shade, inland or along the coast where there is salt air and wind, the Red Margin Bamboo might just be the one you’ve been looking for. Red Margin is one the fastest growing of the screening bamboos we offer and is cold hardy as far north as USDA Zone 5a. It is doing well above 5,000 feet in Denver Colorado!

The attributes don’t stop with cold hardiness…this is one very attractive bamboo. It was named for the small red margins on all the new edible shoots. It has beautiful green canes with long nodes. The canes are a handsome olive-green color with fine reddish striping and the culm sheath borders have pronounced red margin. The beautiful canes are sought for use in arts and crafts. The long spaces between the nodes can reach up to 22 inches on mature canes. The hard wood of this species makes it an excellent timber bamboo.

What’s more? Red Margin Bamboo is salt spray tolerant, grows well in sun or even deep shade, and tolerates poorly-drained wet sites. It provides a medium to tall privacy screen depending on your location.

Growing Preferences

Red Margin Bamboo is easy to grow in any average, well-drained but moist soil to wet soils in full sun or deep shade. During the first growing season after planting, water as needed to keep soil around the plants moist, but not soggy or wet. When established, most bamboo will tolerate periods of dry weather, however, will appreciate an occasional deep soaking if the leaves begin to curl from drought stress.

How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors

Red Margin is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. New shoots of some bamboo can also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.

The bamboo plant arrived quickly and it was in wonderful condition. I was able to plant it within 3 days and it is taking root and growing nicely. I am very pleased with Wilson Bros Gardens as I have ordered other trees/bushes and they are all doing well. Thank you!———————————-You’re welcome! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy your purchase for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing bamboo online.
Wilson Bros exceeded all expectations.
It feels good to purchase plants from a company that obviously cares about their plants and customers.
Ordering was easy, they emailed me every step of the way until it was shipped to my door, and then followed up a couple weeks after. The plants arrived healthy and carefully packaged. They also enclosed a “how to care for sheet” which was very helpful because my project was delayed a couple weeks.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and experience.
Thank you!!!———————————————-You’re welcome! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I MOSTLY WANTED TO SAY THIS ABOUT THE SHIPPING PACKAGING . I DID NOT SEE WHO DELIVERED THESE PLANTS BUT THEY LEANED THEM UP AGAINST MY GARAGE IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONE PLANT WAS RIGHT SIDE UP AND THE OTHER UPSIDE DOWN AS THERE WERE TWO PLANTS IN EACH OF THREE BOXES . I WAS THINKING THE WORST AS THREE PLANTS WERE UPSIDE DOWN NOW . I LAID THEM DOWN AND EXPECTED TO FIND A TOTAL MESS WHEN I OPENED THEM BUT TO MY SURPRISE ALL SIX PLANTS WERE FINE . THE THREE THAT WERE UPSIDE DOWN HAD LOST VERY LITTLE POTTING SOIL AS THE TOP OF THE POTS WERE VERY WELL SEALED AND THE POTS HAD BEEN HELD IN PLACE BY DIVIDERS INSIDE THE SHIPPING CONTAINER SO THEY DID NOT FALL TOGETHER AND DAMAGE THE PLANTS AT ALL . I GOT ALL SIX PLANTS PLANTED RIGHT BEFORE A STORM HIT HERE SO THEY HAVE BEEN TESTED IN HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH WINDS FOR TWO DAYS AND ARE STILL STANDING . I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR WHAT I AM BELIVING WILL BECOME AN ATTRACTIVE LIVING PRIVACY FENCE BETWEEN ME AND THE TRAILER PARK NEXT DOOR . HOPE TO BUY SIX MORE PLANTS SOON .—————————————————-Awesome! Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
