Bamboo Acclimated for Midwest Winters

We have been growing field-dug, northern-grown, cold hardy bamboo since 1997.

Sub-Zero Resilience

In our nursery, we test 26 species and varieties against the harsh Midwest conditions. Our groves have endured temperatures as low as -20°F. If it grows here, it will thrive in your garden.

Our Growing Process

Unlike container-grown plants found elsewhere, we provide large field-dug divisions. These plants have root systems that have already survived the harsh Indiana winters.

Field-Dug Superiority

Unlike small potted plants, our large field-dug divisions offer "instant impact." You get northern acclimated plants that provide beauty and elegance the day you plant them. Home gardeners, landscape architects, city parks, and zoological institutes have trusted us to meet their bamboo needs for over 25 years.

Pickup Only

We don’t keep "shelf stock." To ensure maximum vitality, every order is custom-dug by request. We match each division to your specific needs, focusing on minimal root disturbance for a successful transplant. Because our bamboo plants are field dug, they are very heavy and cannot be shipped. Orders are held for pickup at our nursery in Rochester, Indiana (approx. 60 miles south of the Michigan state line).

Expert Consultation

Don’t guess which species you need. We offer full presale consultations to help you select the perfect species for your growing zone, soil, sunlight, and landscape goals.
