I actually sell bamboo as a private seller. I have very limited quantity. I only carry incense bamboo (phyllostachys astrovaginata). Growing very well in my "almost" four year old grove. Extremely cold hardy, extremely drought hardy, flood hardy. I live in northern Utah, so it takes extremes.

[@ValConB]

I also live in northern Utah, and am interested in planting bamboo. What is the name of your business and/or contact information? Or is there a way I can contact you privately?

[@lisacolbert5987]

I’d love to see what your bamboo privacy hedge looks like now .

[@Onthegoinwisconsin]

Looks great! Curious to see how they are doing a year later.

[@pennyferguson708]

I had the clumping at my house in diamondhead and it was great. It grew very tall.

[@vmorganbogart]

My sister’s neighbor planted bamboo, the running kind, which my sister quickly renamed damboo. It took over my sister’s backyard. She tried everything to kill it, to no avail. It would grow a foot a day. Her backyard had to be completely dug up to get the rhizomes out. She sold that house. I’m glad to hear you got the clumping kind. I would hate for you to have to go through what she did. Y’all have made a big difference on that property. Looks like things are going well for y’all. I’ve missed y’all. Give Little Miss Sunshine a hug for me. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@HearthandDome]

Yikes! That's terrible... I'm glad to see your comment Vicki! We're working on more videos to come out very soon!! :D

[@fhpd350]

I am in Granbury, Texas and looking for a bamboo privacy screen in my backyard to make neighbors disapear. Having a difficult time trying to figure out a good clumping Bamboo to use. Was looking at Fargesia Robusta or Golden Goddess or maybe others. Anyone have suggestions? Growing zone 8, north Texas.

[@amberemma6136]

Actually if you take the time to learn about how any bamboo grows it actually can be managed without all the craziness. You have to work with nature and unfortunately most of the time when one goes to battle with bamboo they are working against it and that is a no win situation. If you learn about how it grows and spreads and when the plant is robust and when it is weaker you can use all of that to your advantage. Plus also learning about timing with bamboo is vital. Even running bamboo can be Managed if you arm yourself with knowledge of the species (it's different then most other plants) and you work with nature. Just wanted to say that Incase anyone was on the fence regarding it and read your message.

[@johnnytyson8645]

Cant wait to see bamboo seminar. If it what you say answers. To my prayers. I need a privacy fence . Cant afford board fence. I hope it works Thank you for taking me along May god bless you and yours thought you. Had quit the tube.

[@HearthandDome]

This method was much more expensive per linear foot than a traditional wooden fence. In this instance it worked out though but we needed it to be very high. My home is on a hill so that was very important to me. The bamboo will also create a thick sound barrier which is very helpful if your neighbors are loud.

[@LivingMiracleHomestead]

I love bamboo. That is going to be a nice fence line. I learned that bamboo is a great resource about 10 years ago. Companys have learned to use it in all kinds of things. I love my bamboo sheets. Here in the heat of Florida it sure helps. because they are cooler than cotton.

[@EverydayKindaGuy]

Been a hair over 2 years, how's the bamboo?

[@lisacolbert5987]

Thanks ! Really appreciate all the detail . I wonder about how long for it to be “established” , I love to water but , even though I live in the Pacific Northwest water is SO expensive where I live .

[@mortenemil3147]

How is it going with the bamboo.?

[@Stars4Hearts]

That’s neat I’m coming back for a follow up 1 year- I want to plant some this year for some privacy !!!!

[@rhondagilbert5613]

Beautiful bamboo, it definitely makes it nice privacy fence!

[@paularizzo5217]

Looks so pretty. I think you are really gonna enjoy your bamboo.

[@carrieng112]

Good video. Give me confidence to start my bamboo growing. Just wonder what does this bamboo fence look like after 1 year growing !

[@christiebetts4970]

Looks great Amanda! Yep its REAL important to plant the right kind of bamboo or it will takeover.Sounds like an awesome upcoming video

[@zeerana3649]

[@medaningsihtheresia5784]

Oh sorri When im child with our tradisionil festifal Dance at village Enjoi

[@quiksilver1j]

Def do not need all the extra effort to stabilize the bamboo but good job looks nice

[@ec7287]

Just a suggestion for your future vids, when your voice can be barely heard, don't add the background music. It just makes it that more difficult to hear what you're saying.

[@ocoro174]

I've had to deal with bamboo before. trust me you don't want it on your property

[@olsonlr]

Where are you please? What's the latin name of the bamboo? Thanks

[@emmadalrymple4102]

Good morning! This is good to know stuff.

[@beth6085]

Please don't have music when talking.. Can't hear you very well.

[@HearthandDome]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Stars4Hearts]

(If it gets out of control just tell people your back up plan was always “bamboo farmer”)

[@6magicman]

Do more videos with this guy or tell him to make his own KZbin channel please and thank you

[@michaeltooley155]

How much did that 50’ of bamboo cost u. I’m looking to do similar

[@WaldenSpawn]

Great idea! I was thinking of wax myrtle for a privacy hedge, I need enough for 1/2 mile on my farm though. Will look into bamboo but the price per linear feet will probably be too high, do you mind telling us how much the cost was for this variety of bamboo?

[@HearthandDome]

At $50 per plant, our budget allowed us to cover a span of only 50ft. We would have liked to plant more but are happy with this for now.

[@olsonlr]

Propagate your own for free

[@jadeeremocaldo3455]

What variety of bamboo is that?

[@DownsouthMan]

I live in La. How much a clump does that cost?

[@REDonFIRE]

Is it possible to grow a living fence in Ohio?

[@melindajoy111]

I miss your videos! Wish you could have scheduled video days so we can look forward to hanging out with you each week. Love the garden and little homestead adventure you are on in this season of life.

[@HearthandDome]

That's a great idea!! We're working on a schedule now. Do you have a suggestion for a specific day or time you'd like to see new content? Thanks Melinda!!

[@melindajoy111]

Freedom Acres post whenever works best for you, we will show up! :)

[@Hodado]

I purchased seed online,called Umbrella,fargesia spathacea,is this clumping variety?

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

I was researching a Fargesia Red Dragon myself, and it said it was clumping. I don't want the invasive runner type lol

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

I was unaware of clumping bamboo that’s cool.

[@isaurahoyos7137]

Updated video on how is looking now ?

[@stephenmauro1770]

I want fishing poles...

[@chefboyrdanbh]

What county do yall live in?

[@charmainemontgomery582]

That’s a great idea for privacy!

[@lizhyink5636]

Things may likely have changed in 2 years, but where the brush was to prevent erosion, I wonder if berry brambles or ostrich ferns might work as part of edible food forestry. By chance, although it is not a human food staple like those, button bush feeds pollinators and is resilient in both rainy and arrid areas. The USDA also includes some history on the plant. Among the scientists who've studied it was a phD student named Gabriel Trujillo. I did not know him, but deeply respect the dedication to his field biology work before his recent passing.

[@petermcgreevy6386]

at 3:00 I thought we had an Anaconda laying in wait.........LoL

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

Haha, I can see "it"

[@silverabec12]

Thanks for sharing! How is this holding up?

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

I'm curious to know too! I'm researching red dragon clumping bamboo for privacy.

[@tomjeff9007]

Amazing, can I some guidance on what species should I user? 1. living in NC, we have clay soil 2. I have some steel raised bed ready for this project (if we go with runner stuff) 3. need some like 10 to max 15 feet height for look / privacy inside out backyard next to our 6' Vinyl fence. what type of plant is better for us to use? tnx so much

[@tokiota86]

Hi. Sorry, you may already mentioned it in the video but I could not understand it. Which bamboo is it? Is it a Fargesia Robusta Campbell? I am just planning in buying a few of these :) Thanks.

[@emmadalrymple4102]

I wonder how this is growing now, 2 years later. I miss you and Sunshine, Amanda. Hope you are well, and enjoying married life. 💕🌿😊

[@MzHoneyBunnTV]

Bamboo Update 🙏🏾❤️

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

I'm so interested in discovering how your clumping bamboos are doing and if they give you the much-needed privacy! I found your video while researching red dragon bamboo to put up my hill, as neighbors can peer into everything we do. Would love an updated video if you ever need content ideas lol

[@teddybearMonaco]

Hello , I like your farms land .very nice bambo you planting . Can you add more video with this bambo?

[@Keithers_]

I like how much was explained about the bamboo, what you were doing and why.

[@mikaallen9487]

I have questions. Main one being... Is there a way to email y'all or some sort contact? I live in the Houston area.

[@AngiesPantry58]

Did you move? I must of missed that video.. Are you still next door to DSH?

[@tbiru6175]

Thank you for sharing what u know. As what u said this is for fence purpose . As what I see there are gaps in between. Can u show us what it looks like after certain time? When do we get the fence structure I need ur follow up video plc

[@hanwin651]

Thanks a lot ! I am thinking of privacy fence with bamboo !

[@medaningsihtheresia5784]

Oh when im child tradisionil at our Village dance Enjoi

[@valerieleung3639]

Enjoyed your video. I would like some bamboo in my yard in Canada west coast

[@AngelaAndrea-dd4fg]

I did the same a few months ago . I planted the black bamboo

[@cindybonem494]

Is that Deep South Homestead next door?

[@HearthandDome]

Yes

[@casellafink]

I hope y’all are still friends ❤️

[@jbthor9032]

So cool. What is it about bamboo that turns us on? How is your bamboo growing now?

[@foxglove8836]

Looks like your going to need a screen, With the building site next door.

[@lynardboi1915]

your bamboo supplier looks like rupert from survivor :)

[@thikxaentertainment623]

can these bamboos grow in kentucky?

[@yingding9479]

What is your location or planting zone?

[@ronaldbarrett350]

This is a great bamboo article. Thanks

[@trevorc4052]

I need this to block out a neighbor.

[@xyooj96]

very nice, 8 feet expansion?

[@babu7329]

Nice.. which species of bamboo ?

[@mmukhlis359]

nice sharing bamboo

[@northeastoperations]

Lee is the how to bamboo guru.

[@TheSeeker-uj6lo]

Very informative, thank you!

[@debbievilleda5500]

Can I grow this bamboo in pots

[@langelatallent5460]

Will the fence come down once the bamboo begins to grow? Or will it just swallow the fence?

[@HearthandDome]

The t-posts between the plants are just there for bracing. We will remove them sometime next year.

[@alecvalentino3511]

Any updates a year later?

[@craigslistsales4424]

You will regret it. I promise.

[@Ang.0910]

How does it look now?

[@abhradhibar8942]

What is the variety

[@cindihuculak1964]

How long will it take the bamboo mature?

[@HearthandDome]

Each plant should reach 25ft in height and a max of 8ft diameter in 3-4 years.

[@drywallsurgeon]

Awesome! 💕

[@rachealrumbo4441]

Lovely.

[@Schmunzel57]

Does this kind only spread be seeds? What will you do at time of flowering?

[@madtabula6638]

This species takes about 65 years to seed or flower from a mature grove. I for one will not be around. Bamboo does flower but over a very long time span. Like lifetimes.

[@Schmunzel57]

@@madtabula6638 That is the danger. Than, why not native evergreens? I have seen predictions that in 500years the whole planet could be covered in Bamboo because no one cares until it is too late.

[@madtabula6638]

@@Schmunzel57 Totally get your point and I didn't mean to come of as uncaring. But why 500 years in the future? Bambusa genus with over 1400 known species has been around way longer than civilized man so wouldn't it have already taken over at points in the past? But you are correct when we plant something we need to be good stewards and not let it take over.

[@Schmunzel57]

@@madtabula6638 Today Bamboo is where it developed and where Humans put it. It was not spreading all over the world because it spread in a tempo that all the counteracting organisms could catch up with and mainly because. It is bound to regions it can not leave because of to big barriers like deserts. It grows fast if the ground is not to extreme. It can cover ground in forests so long that all seeds and little trees of other species die, so you get forests made from Bamboo. In those forests is less variety because not many different species are growing. And that is en environment you get different kinds of bamboo but can’t go back to trees. The photosynthesis is a bid more efficient in grass so bamboo will take over all places that are not to cold for grass. So, why not native plants?

[@madtabula6638]

Bamboo is actually native to southeastern United States. Humans have been planting it for about 7000 years. This information is readily available on the web.

[@graphguy]

Bamboo should be planted everywhere

8ft in diameter...wow you could live inside it....😎
