Customers often wonder how many bamboo plants they can take home in their cars.  Today a customer visited the nursery to purchase and pick up 8 plants in 7-gal containers.  The bamboos all had multiple canes and stood between 8′ and 12′ tall.  We had no difficulty fitting them into the customer’s minivan even though he already had a large dresser in the van taking up about 18″ x 3′ x 5′ of space.  It always amazes me how many plants we can fit in cars – even in small hatchbacks and sedans, but especially in minivans.
