Here's some more bamboo in warmer times! Last summer my largest rose about 45ft in 28 days! Looking forward to this years' growth?!?! LOL

I have designed and built a small Japanes dry garden and will be using a bamboo screening fixed to the wall which I think will be a nice backdrop to the design. I love bamboo especially the Nigra variety, I think they are more controllable and would like to plant a couple in big pots for our deck area (when its finished) which looks onto the Japanese garden.

This particular view is looking towards a black-marbled variety, on the left in the background, but I suggest you broaden your bamboo horizons and check out other varieties which, IMO, are really worth seeking out.

Bamboo in patio pots is a good idea. Should you later decide to plant a variety in the garden I suggest planting it in a plastic dustbin first and then bury with the 'lip' just barely showing. You can then easily chop anything that comes over the edge. BTW Drainage holes in the bottom only.
