It,s about 8ft Eileen , this is what the cane fencing was made out of that you liked on one of my pics. at the end of the season you can cut them down and use them .... :o)

Is it like a bamboo, Amy, and does it spread quickly?

It is like a bamboo Gee , and it does spread , not to quickly it creates a nice screen from one area to another in the summer months , it needs cutting down late autumn , then you can use the canes to support plants etc. next year ..... I could break a peice off in the autumn if you wanted some !

Thanks, Amy, but I think it may be too big for my small garden. I do like it though :)
