Bamboo Screens

Bamboo screens are living barriers created using bamboo plants, which are known for their fast growth and dense foliage. Bamboo screens are often used to create privacy, block unsightly views, or provide wind protection in the landscape. Clumping bamboo species, such as Fargesia, are preferred for screens because they are non-invasive and easier to control compared to running bamboo varieties. Bamboo screens offer a natural, green alternative to traditional fences, adding both functionality and an exotic aesthetic to the garden. When planting bamboo screens, it’s important to select a species that is well-suited to the local climate and soil conditions, and to provide adequate space for the plants to spread. Bamboo screens require regular maintenance, including watering during dry periods and occasional thinning to prevent overcrowding. These screens provide a quick and effective way to create a private, tranquil outdoor space.
