Fitting a tall bamboo in a station wagon

by | Mar 21, 2010 | clumping bamboo, transporting bamboo

Customers often wonder how to get the bamboo they want to buy home.  Although they have the option of having us deliver their purchases to them, they can often save time and money by fitting the bamboo into their own cars, vans, station wagons, trucks or trailers. 


(Remember to bring along some old sheets, blankets and tie-downs when you schedule your visit to Beautiful Bamboo)

Repeat customers Matt and Kelly really wanted an instant look in their landscape and when Kelly saw our selection of 15-gallon Graceful clumping bamboos she knew that was just the plant she was looking for.  

 Ralph and our grandson Atom pose in front of some 15- and 30-gallon Graceful bamboos

But would a 20+ foot tall, multi-caned plant fit into their station wagon?  Not a problem!  After a few of the taller shoots were snipped off to a 14′ height and all the canes were tied together, the plant was ready to be gently slipped into the back of the wagon.  


But at 14′, the canes were still too long to fit completely inside the car. 

Solution:  Open the passenger side window and let the canes stick out.  

 
With leaves secured by blankets and straps and anchored to the front grill work, the bamboo was ready for the 45-minute drive home. 

 
Instant privacy and beauty ready to go!
