Additional Information About Green Onion Bamboo

Description

Green Onion is a unique running bamboo sought by gardeners and collectors alike. The large, swollen internodes which resemble green onions is what makes it so unusual. The dark green leaves are up to 12 inches in length, adding even more appeal to this variety. It is very erect in habit growing up to 18 feet tall in the ground and abround 8 feet tall in containers. This one is special and is sought by many gardeners and collectors. 

Green Onion 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 that emerge one time a year in spring or early summer. New shoots could also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. 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. 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.
