People are always asking us how quickly bamboo grows. Below are photos sent from customers in the Orlando area whose objective was to create a perimeter privacy barrier in front of existing fences. See for yourself how quickly a landscape can change less than a year after planting bamboo.

Green Hedge clumping bamboo (3-gallon size) planted 4′ apart in May 2008.

11 months later…where did that fence go?

Same property – another location. Same type of bamboo, same size container planted the same distance apart.

11 months later – after only one growing season – the white fence is beginning to disappear behind a screen of green bamboo.
