Choosing the Perfect Dwarf Malay Bamboo for You
\n
While similar, each variety of Dwarf Malay Bamboo has specific features that should be considered before deciding which one to plant. Both types are sturdy and require little in the way of maintenance, yet there are important differences between the two:
\n
\n- The Variegated Dwarf Malay Bamboo is ideal for hedging as they provide more even and dense foliage from the ground up. The Green variety does not have lower leaves when grown in a canopy.
\n\n- The Green variety is best suited to wider spaces, while the Variegated variety can be clipped to fit in smaller areas, as small as 50cm.
\n\n- Both varieties act as excellent barriers to prevent soil erosion, but the Green variety, with its wider base would be the ideal candidate if soil erosion is an issue.
\n
\n
Dwarf Malay Bamboo, regardless of the specific species you choose, will make for an excellent addition to your garden, providing both aesthetic appeal and practicality.\n
