What You Should Know About Bamboo for Shade

Bamboo is attractive, versatile, durable, and fast-growing, making it the ideal plant to enhance any outdoor space.

• You can use it as a privacy screen: A bamboo plant can provide you with ample shade from the sun and create privacy from your neighbours or cars driving down the street. You can select the ideal bamboo variety to suit your height requirements and, as it grows quickly, you won’t have to wait too long before you get your privacy and shade. You can also prune your plant to your aesthetic preference.
• It can also act as a noise and windbreaker: Planting bamboo for shade can also provide you with the extra benefit of acting as a noise and windbreaker. If you live in an open area or noisy suburb, planting clumping bamboo as a screen in your garden can diminish the noises around you, such as trains or cars and provide you with a serene oasis to enjoy.
• Bamboo can cool and purify the surrounding air: Bamboo can grow up to 91 cm daily, meaning it can quickly provide your garden with shade. However, it can also cool and purify the surrounding air to a greater degree than other plants, making it an ideal investment when you live in warm climates.

Tips Regarding Bamboo Trees for Screening

Consider our tips for planting bamboo in your garden.

• Select the ideal location: Bamboo is a versatile plant and can grow and survive in many conditions; however, it is best suited to being in full sunlight. They also like to have fertile, slightly acidic and moist, well-draining soil for optimal growth. If you can provide at least a few of these conditions, then most bamboo varieties will thrive.
• Plant your bamboo: Be sure to dig a hole for your plant that is double the root ball size. Once you place your bamboo in the hole, spread some of the roots out and start to fill the gap gently with soil. You should water the bamboo thoroughly to fill any air pockets and then weekly after planting until it is established in the ground.
• Care for your plant: Ensure that your bamboo gets an adequate amount of water each week, as this will encourage deep roots and help protect your plant from drought. You should also be careful to not rake up leaves from around the base of your plant as they protect the roots and keep them moist. As the leaves decompose, essential nutrients go back into the soil, encouraging your plant to grow. Once established, they are mostly low maintenance and only require compost or fertiliser in spring.
