Best gardening steps

Many people like to plant different shrubs or trees in order to add more privacy to their gardens. Generally the faster growing plants are the more popular as not many people want to wait for many years for this cover to become apparent. One plant that many are turning to is the blue henon bamboo tree as it can grow as tall as thirty feet and very quickly.

Some of these plants have the ability to grow about eighty eight centimetres in about twenty four hours. They are very strong and many will substitute them for brick, concrete as well as wood. When they are used in construction they will be harvested when they reach their greatest strength and this can vary depending on their specie.

The Phyllostachys Nigra or the Henon Giant Gray can grow to very great heights and is also able to grow in many shaded areas as well. It seems to also do very well where the soil is poor and the watering is infrequent. This one is very hardy and as it ages the canes will change from an olive green to grey in colour. The canes are of high quality when it comes to wood and is frequently sought after by craftsmen.

In Indonesia they are thinly sliced and boiled with a coconut milk and different spices are added to create a dish called gulai rebung. Some of the shoots will need to be boiled beforehand so as to make then safe. The young stalks can also be picked during the wet season and made into a soft drink and even a sweet wine.

Bamboos are fairly easy to plant as they are upright and don't need a lot of space around them. Many people will grow them so that they can make their own fishing poles instead of spending lots of money buying one. They also come in handy when one needs a sturdy upright pole to help climbers in other parts of the garden.

Its branches grow from nodes and the canes are thick and tend to form a perfect place for birds to build their nests. They can reach a height of fifteen feet and have a green and yellow variegation pattern reaching up and down the full length. Many love the smell it produces when the leaves are moved by the wind as the aroma will remind one of a freshly mowed lawn.

The Robert Young Bamboo Plant has a very fast growth speed and tends to spread just as quick. Its canes are variegated with bright tallow and green stripes. It will resemble a weeping bamboo when at its full height which can be about thirty five feet. The prices will vary when it comes to the width of the shoot clump.

There are two types of bamboos the running and the clumping. It is well worth ones time to become familiar with these two types as the running one can become very much like a forest over time. Those that have planted the wrong type swear that they will never plant bamboo again.
