The 2023 digging season is looking like this...
The 2023 digging season for Arundinaria species ended in late March.
Phyllostachys species will probably be dug beginning late Oct 2023.
A summer dig for Phyllostachys species might be possible if we don't have ANOTHER summer of drought.
If we have a drought again we will have to wait until late Oct 2023.

We specialize in contract growing larger field dug bamboo divisions for USDA zone 5.
Because our bamboo plants are field dug, they are very heavy. We do not ship our live plants. All live plant orders are for pickup at our nursery location only.
We leave all field soil intact around the root ball to provide our customers with the best undisturbed root system.
We do not ship live plants. Our plants are quite heavy due to the field soil and shipping costs would be prohibitive.
All of our nursery containers are true gallon sizes. Our 5 gal pots hold 5 gal.
True gallon pot sizes hold more roots and larger plants than trade gal or trade # pots. A 5 gal pot and a #5 pot are not the same thing. A 5 gal pot is 25% larger than a #5 pot.
All orders are dug by request and contract grown for one to two months before being ready for pickup, weather and crop production permitting. We do not carry a potted inventory.
When should I order?
You'll want to order before or during the digging season for the species you would like to purchase. The digging seasons are indicated on each species' page.
Species in different genera have different digging seasons. However, none of them can be dug during the spring shooting season and in the winter when the ground is frozen.
Please note that the production time between digging and availability for pickup is one to two months, sometimes longer.
The exception is for orders dug in late October. Plants that are 5 gallons or larger dug at that time can be planted immediately.
Bamboo, when dug in the spring or summer, is too fickle for most non-commercial growers to have success with plants that are immediately out of the ground. So a stabilization period is necessary; typically under timed mist propagation here at the nursery.
Bamboo dug in April is usually ready for pickup in June. Bamboo dug in June is usually ready for pickup in September.
Plants are available for pickup at our location in northern Indiana once they are ready to leave our care. We do not ship live plants.
We currently grow and test the cold hardiness of 25 bamboo species and varieties.
