That said, only under ideal growing conditions in USDA Zones 7 and 8 that are similar to that in its native habitat, with lots of sun and good soil, will it achieve this size. Otherwise, you might expect around 50 feet height. While waiting for it to mature, Madake provides a thick privacy screen.

Canes will be taller and grow faster in full sun. During the first growing season after planting, water as needed to keep soil around the plants moist, but not soggy or wet. When established, most bamboo will tolerate periods of dry weather, however, will appreciate an occasional deep soaking if the leaves begin to curl from drought stress.

Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. New shoots of this bamboo can also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are \"shooting,\" the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy.

Thanks for the kind words and great review! :) Beth Steele | WBG\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHello Wilson Brothers and Staff! I am Ralph Brown from AZ. A few weeks back You notified me I won the \"$50.00 dollar off\" on any purchase weekly drawing. I was so happy, never having won anything in my almost 75 years. (Birthday June 4th). I have been wanting a bamboo plant for ever, so I took that opportunity to order a Tonkin Bamboo from you. I was REALLY surprised when it arrived in perfect shape. It was huge I was expecting a tiny little plant and here it was 6 foot tall. I loved it so much that I then ordered a Madake Bamboo! It arrived and is just as luxurious as the Tonkin. They both are planted and doing great.\nSo, then I thought just who are these Wilson Brothers? I just finished reading your story; of a humble beginning and 2 brothers with a dream. I congratulate you. I wanted to thank you for giving me the best birthday present of all, my Bamboos. God bless you both, Also Tyler, and your staff and your company abundantly. Hugs,-----------------------------------------One of the best reviews ever! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! :) Beth Steele | WBG\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI received my Japanese Timber bamboo plant on 4\/9\/20 and was impressed by the quality as soon as I opened the box. The packing job was really impressive. The box had been damaged pretty badly during shipping and my bamboo plant was reaching its little leaves out through holes in the top of the box. The box may have looked bad but the plant looked very happy! The pot had one tall, fully leafed culm that was about 5' tall, and one short but thick shoot. That little shoot ended up being fantastic treat. It was maybe about 24-30 inches tall when I received the plant and is now at least 10' tall! I can hardly wait to watch new shoots pop up next spring!! I wasn't sure what to expect from bamboo in general so I only ordered one Japanese Timber to start off but absolutely plan to order more in the future.----------------Thanks for the great review!!
