Jennifer, I want to plant a massive privacy screen of bamboo to block out new neighborhood (about 350 feet and another 500 feet on the other side). Is there anyone in Tulsa you can recommend to contact? I don’t want a landscape guy who uses my application as his learning curve. I need an experienced bamboo guru who can advise variety, soil, sun light, and planting to get the maximum results to block out a slew of McMansions on my property line. Thanks

I have a beautiful black bamboo in my front yard in Ft. Lauderdale. It does make quite a mess which I don’t mind but someone told me I should “clean” the lower stems after the leaves fall off. How is this done without hurting the plant or should it be done at all?

Hi, About 15 yrs. ago I planted bamboo in my yard. Then about five yrs. ago I moved some to the other side. I had no idea it would get to be 40 ft. tall! I like it very much, it even formed a little “bamboo house” my grandchildren and I have had tea parties in. My question is, now it is spreading all over my yard and through the fence and in the neighbor’s yard. Is there any way to trench down and contain its spreading. It was there for a very long time before it grew and spread. Thanks, J. Kidd
