Bambusa Alphonse Karr Clumping Bamboo "Golden Hedge" Non-Invasive 1 Gallon Plant

Description: Alphonse Karr Bamboo 1 Large Gallon Size Plant Bambusa Multiplex “Alphonse Karr” The colors of Alphonse Karr are very striking. It is a yellow bamboo with green vertical stripes and has a red / rose highlight when the canes emerge that gradually fade over the first year of that canes life. The canes can grow to 25 feet tall if left untrimmed and the canes will be 1.5 inches in diameter at maturity. Within 4 years, the base will be approximately 3.5 feet in diameter. Alphonse Karr will make a beautiful specimen/focal point planting, screen or hedge. Fully hardy in growing zones 8 to 11, it’s roots will survive zone 7 winters and for those winters that are harsh enough to kill the top growth, she will push up new growth in the spring. As you may be aware, bamboo has growth spurts and can grow several inches a day and quickly re-establish after a freeze. Supplemental watering needed for the first year only. Alphonse Karr is happy in from full shade to full fun. While Alphonse Karr will reach 25 feet in height, if you wish a more controlled growth, this bamboo can be trimmed to a much shorter hedge. Bamboo canes, when cut, will produce significant side growth that will extend approximately 2 feet above the height of the cut cane. Once a cane is cut, it will not grow taller, but rather the side shoots and leaves become thicker and bushier. This makes a very nice and thick hedge. Imagine a hedge that you never have to cut a branch more than once during its lifetime! A great labor saver! When I grew bamboo as a hedge, I trimmed it once a year when the new canes were growing and then I was done! You will receive a nice one gallon plant that is at least 36 inches in height. It’s pot will be removed and packaged with watering gel to ensure it remains moist during transit.No shipments to ARIZONA or HAWAII.Your plants are guaranteed to arrive safely and alive.
