This video covers all things bamboo, from the incredible way in which bamboo grows in just one season to how different types of bamboo respond to our climate. We look at four different varieties of bamboo, both running and clumping, including golden bamboo, arrow bamboo, Fargesia bamboo and the beautiful black bamboo. In addition we cover multiple different ways of maintaining healthy bamboo in general, but also controlling the spread of running bamboo and the different ways this can be achieved.

Comments from professional pandas most welcome :)

Golden bamboo - Phyllostachys aurea - evergreen, running
