WELCOME TO FLORIDA BAMBOO |
|
Bring a touch of the exotic to your landscape! More
and more people every year are realizing what spectacular landscape
plants bamboos can be. And more and more people are realizing that by
choosing clumping variety bamboos, they don't have to worry about the
plants spreading uncontrollably. Clumping bamboos stay where you plant them!
At Florida Bamboo, our mission is to provide high quality
plants of these little-known varieties of bamboo to homeowners and
landscapers in Florida. Many of the varieties we sell are quite rare
and highly sought-after. And because bamboos are unique in many aspects
of their growth, care, propagation, and landscape effect, we provide
this website to try to give a comprehensive information resource to
acquaint you with everything you need to know to incorporate these
spectacular plants into your landscape.
Our nursery is located in Citra, which is between Gainesville and Ocala, Florida. The nursery is open by appointment only.
