Below are the cold hardy bamboo which we've tested here for the past 5-6 yrs. Others that are supposed to be hardy here are available, but have not yet been tested here. We are currently up to 29 cold hardy bamboo. There are about 44 that are hardy to zone 5 and we are working on collecting them all. In time we will be able to offer them all from
our own stock. Until then we can special order most of the ones we have already located. You can also come take a look at our plants if you like.
Before deciding on a cold hardy bamboo, you should take a look at our descriptions page which describes each bamboo along with it's spreading speed.
That page contains a complete list of cold hardy bamboo we have and are still looking for, as well as a brief description of each. Choose carefully and wisely.
The prices below are for cold hardy bamboo divisions from our stock. If we have to special order it in, it may be a little more.
Availability always fluctuates. If you want bamboo we don't have listed on this price list, but found it on the descriptions page please feel free to contact us.
