Compacta

This is the smallest Bamboo we grow (apart from the groundcover) and is best grown in pots or troughs. Compacta will grow naturally to approx 2mtrs, with a very narrow, clumping base. It looks at its best when left untrimmed, in its natural form.

Compacta displays a fan shaped growth habit with a bushy green foliage top. The natural footprint is only 75cms but readily grows well in narrow pots and troughs down to 30cms. It’s a great alternative for those not wishing to be overwhelmed by the larger species or the need for trimming. It IS a bit higher maintenance however requiring regular fertilising and watering to maintain the lush green state. The plant will let you know if this routine is lacking, by looking a little scrappy.

The approximate size of bamboo is only a guide. Plant measurements are taken from the bottom of the pot.

The sizing of plants does vary, particularly through different seasons of the year.

The most valuable part of the bamboo is the rootball size within the pots, which produces incredibly fast growth once planted.
