It grows rapidly to 20 feet tall, sometimes reaching 45 feet in warmer areas, with dense evergreen foliage ideal for privacy screens, windbreaks, or stylish garden accents. This large 1-gallon plant adapts to full sun or shade and requires moderate watering after establishment, making it a low-maintenance, versatile choice for year-round outdoor greenery. ## Description For a Phyllostachys, this is a smaller specimen and usually only grows to around 20 feet in height though it has been reported to have grown to 45 feet in some warmer locations and is 1 inch in diameter. It’s a good choice as a containerized plant as it is so very cold hardy that being above ground will not be of concern in most places that you will not need to bring it inside. It has attractive green canes with large evergreen foliage. It has the ability to provide a very dense canopy (if this is your desire, otherwise you can thin the canopy) and provides excellent shading. Effective uses are privacy screening, hedging, groves, wind breaks and a display specimen. Hardy from zone 5 and higher and down here in Florida, it readily accepts full sun and high humidity. As stated earlier, the plant is hardy down to -15 degrees. It will die back at -25 degrees and return the next spring with growing very quickly to reestablish in record time. This is truly a bamboo for almost all locations and climates! No shipments to ARIZONA or HAWAII. Your plants are guaranteed to arrive safely and alive. If you have any issue, please advise within 24 hours of receipt along with a picture of the plant in question and we will work through any problem. Review: Great plant! - We are very happy with our bamboo plant. It arrived on time, was exactly as expected, and we were impressed with the packaging. We received it and planted it yesterday. Review: Be careful what you wish for! - We ordered this in April 2020 and it’s now April 2026. We had a hot gravelly area with a big ugly fence and I just wanted some quick greenery and screening. I figured we need screening in all the directions it could go and wouldn’t be a problem if it spread. (and anyway, that’s a “later problem” right??) Well, this bamboo delivered. And now we’ve landscaped a bit, changed the fence out and suddenly I care a lot if it takes over the yard, which it threatens to. I’m still happy we have the screening between our pergola and the street but we need to control its runners now. Still experimenting with that. Anyway, originally we planted 3 in a row (outside Denver, I think our zone is 5a.) The one completely outside the tree shade has consistently done better. South facing, tons of sun. It’s now (6 years later) at like 8 feet tall and the shortest of the 3 is maybe 3 feet tall in its bushy parts, though it’s sending its spiky shoots up higher so maybe it’s due for a growth spurt this year. All in all they have done well as a screen though it was at 3-4 feet for a while and has only in the past couple years gotten as high as my head. But the spreading. It’s poking up its shoots in all directions about 6 feet to 10 feet away from the original plants, and going farther all the time. I *highly* recommend planting in a large pot if you don’t want it everywhere. In my last pic, the blue is where it was planted, and the red is where it’s coming up where it was not planted! That’s just this spring.. we pulled a bunch of new shoots last year also. What we’re thinking is dig a 3 foot-ish trench along the edge of the walkway toward the gate and fill it with cement to make like an underground wall, then dig out all rhizomes on the wrong side of it. Seems like it’s reasonably easy to follow the roots in the ground at this stage (though they are under weed fabric on that side and that’s going to be a mess). Yes we are idiots for planting bamboo without containment, and yes this is “running bamboo” not “clumping bamboo” (if you don’t know what this means do yourself a favor and look it up before purchase) but I want you to consider yourself warned!! That said, it’s done a great job of what I bought it for (maybe TOO good a job…) so can’t fault it for that. It’s been hardy with no maintenance at all through all weather, in crappy soil, and it clearly continues to be really happy in our yard! ## Features - One of the most cold hardy bamboo available – Hardy down to -15 degrees / zone 5. Colder temperatures may damage top growth, but plant will re-establish from roots. - Full sun to full shade – moderate watering after the first year. Easy care. - Mature size normally 20 feet in height and 1 inch in diameter, but some warmer areas have seen 45 feet in height. - Current size is a large 1 gallon bamboo – NOT a starter size. - No shipments to ARIZONA or HAWAII ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B073SJVZTG | | Best Sellers Rank | #376,356 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #512 in Hedge & Shrub Plants & Seeds | | Brand | Old Oaks Garden and Nursery, LLC | | Brand Name | Old Oaks Garden and Nursery, LLC | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 83 Reviews | | Expected Blooming Period | Spring | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Manufacturer | Old Oaks Garden and Nursery, LLC | | Material Feature | Organic | | Material Features | Organic | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Plant or Animal Product Type | bamboo,bamboo-very | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Shade, Full Sun | | UPC | 793945220328 | | USDA Hardiness Zone | 5 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Outdoor - **Brand:** Old Oaks Garden and Nursery, LLC - **Material Feature:** Organic - **Color:** Green - **Expected Blooming Period:** Spring - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Shade, Full Sun - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count - **Expected Planting Period:** Spring - **USDA Hardiness Zone:** 5 - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering ## Images ![Phyllostachys Bissetti/David Bisset Bamboo-Very Cold Hardy Down to -15 Degrees g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VRTecPCWL.jpg) ![Phyllostachys Bissetti/David Bisset Bamboo-Very Cold Hardy Down to -15 Degrees g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EESdgvFkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I just received plant..Can I divide into two..if yes, how?** A: I pulled them apart at the roots and made 3 pots. I will plant in spring **Q: Is this a clumping bamboo?** A: Bisset's bamboo is considered by horticulturists as a leptomorph bamboo: the underground rhizomes tend to grow horizontally with long nodes. This is the reason that leptomorph bamboos spread quickly, not maintaining a tight clumping habit, but a spreading thicket of stems. Leptomorph rhizomes in the Phyllostachys genus also grow close to the soil surface. Bisset's bamboo, on average, can spread 2 to 4 feet outward annually. This means a plant clump of stems or culms 3 feet wide in year one can become 7 to 11 feet wide by the end of the second year. **Q: Acceptable times of year to plant these? Spring? Fall?** A: As my plants are container grown, it is acceptable to plant Spring through Fall. However, if you do not have an irrigation system, please plant early enough in the fall that they will have time (4 to 6 weeks) to settle before freezing temperatures. **Q: How long to reach 20' in shade, zone 6a? Want to fill in below tall pine trees which lost lower limbs under 20'.** A: The growth rate varies depending on where the bamboo is planted (sub, shade, planter/pot, in-ground). Mine is out in full sun and grows approximately 2-3 inches per day with watering every couple days. It is in a planter and I don't expect it to get much higher than 5 or 6 feet. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great plant! *by M***R on June 12, 2026* We are very happy with our bamboo plant.
