Additional Information About Red Margin Bamboo

Description

Red Margin Bamboo has beautiful green canes with long nodes. It's a very cold hardy bamboo that makes a great screen and is growing well in USDA Zone 5 and warmer. It is doing well above 5000 feet in Denver, CO. It will provide a screening effect even in densely shaded areas. The culm (cane) sheaths are olive color with fine reddish striping. The culm sheath borders have the pronounced red margin. Sheath auricles and oral setae are absent. The ligule is dark red in color. Handles salt spray well. Culms are tough but easy to split for use in weaving.

Red Margin is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be easily controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year, and when they are "shooting", the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy.  New shoots could also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus.  Root pruning, a Bamboo Root Barrier or growing plants in above- or below-ground containers are other methods to control spread.

Gardener Direct also carries Bamboo fertilizer and planting soil containing Biochar, a highly porous material that allows for long term water and nutrient holding capabilities.
