You Will Love Having A Blue Henon Bamboo Tree

By Ruthie Calderon


When designing a garden especially if it is in close proximity to the neighbour many people will try and buy plants, shrubs and trees to ensure some privacy especially if they have a swimming pool. Many tend to go for the bamboos and especially the blue henon bamboo tree. They are considered to be the better looking member of the Phyllostachys family and are drought as well as freeze resistant.

The tree has a blue green colour to it and has a very beautiful appearance when planted in any garden. It is very fast growing and is known to grow as tall as fifty feet. The stems can reach anything from three inches in diameter and up and was first imported out of China in the early nineteenth century.

At Aaron's Farm they are able to sell this bamboo in clumps ranging at different prices. For a six inch wide shoot clump that reaches to six feet in length to the fourteen inch wide. When they are getting prepared to be shipped the clumps will be cut in half or thirds if they are over ten inches high. They are shipped twelve months of the year and can take about seven to ten working days to reach their designated destination.

The price for the fourteen inch wide clump will be about one hundred and fifty four dollars and the ten inch will set one back just over seventy seven dollars. The eight inch wide is about fifty two dollars and the six inch is only twenty eight dollars twenty five. Shipping costs on all of the above do apply and the shipping methods that can be used are UPS Ground or Motor Freight.

Bamboos are fairly easy to plant as they are upright and don't need a lot of space around them. Many people will grow them so that they can make their own fishing poles instead of spending lots of money buying one. They also come in handy when one needs a sturdy upright pole to help climbers in other parts of the garden.

Many weapons have also been made out of these and are still used in Asian martial arts. The bamboo staff has one end sharpened and is used in the art silambam. In Indian culture the stave is used for gatka and is mainly used because it is light in weight. They are also popular in the making of the bow in archery and bow-hunting.

As it grows the stalks will begin to creep over the rim of the plastic and this is when one will need to trim them down. Fill the container with soil and if one prefers they can score the roots before lowering it into the container although this is not necessary as the roots will unravel and descend over time. Fill it up to the top with more soil and fertilise it with grass fertilizer.

There are two types of bamboos the running and the clumping. It is well worth ones time to become familiar with these two types as the running one can become very much like a forest over time. Those that have planted the wrong type swear that they will never plant bamboo again.
