Arrow Bamboo

I want to be honest: I'm not getting great results with Arrow Bamboo and I'm not entirely sure why. yellowing leaves from drought or nitrogen deficiency has been a recurring problem despite my attempts to address it. I've been focusing on watering heavily in the first season to establish the root sy…

I'm a busy person and can't give every plant the attention the books recommend. Here's what I've learned about the minimum viable care for Arrow Bamboo. watering heavily in the first season to establish the root system is genuinely non-negotiable — skip this and the plant declines noticeably. Every…

I planted Arrow Bamboo without expecting much and it's become one of the most satisfying things in my garden. beautiful sound of canes moving in wind is something I couldn't have predicted from looking at it in a nursery. You only understand it once the plant is established and performing. I keep i…

I started with one Arrow Bamboo and now have four, all from propagation. The process is straightforward once you understand feeding with a high-nitrogen fertiliser in early spring — something I picked up from trial and error rather than any guide. I display them in a poolside or water feature surro…

I've been growing Arrow Bamboo for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. foliage refresh as older leaves shed in late winter was the clear high point — everything you're told about Arrow Bamboo at that time of year is true.

Arrow Bamboo is a genuinely satisfying plant to grow, but I want to be upfront about one thing: yellowing leaves from drought or nitrogen deficiency. I've dealt with it twice now and it takes consistent attention to manage. Beyond that, rapid establishment and fast vertical growth makes it one of m…

I've grown several varieties within the Arrow Bamboo family and have some observations to share. exceptional tensile strength in the cane structure varies noticeably between them, more than catalogue descriptions suggest. The care fundamentals are shared — installing a root barrier for running bambo…

I'd had Arrow Bamboo for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to feeding with a high-nitrogen fertiliser in early spring and the difference over the next two months was dramatic. year-round evergreen screening and architectural presence…

As a complete beginner I was nervous about starting with Arrow Bamboo. It turned out to be more forgiving than I expected, as long as I paid attention to watering heavily in the first season to establish the root system. I grow mine in a focal point specimen in a large container which is working re…

The first few months with Arrow Bamboo were underwhelming. Almost no visible growth and I questioned my decision repeatedly. Then something shifted — I think getting removing the oldest and most congested canes each spring right was the turning point. beautiful sound of canes moving in wind became …
