Green Bamboo (Phyllostachys bissetii) features green stems that harmoniously blend with its green foliage, providing year-round interest. Once established, green bamboo requires minimal care. It is drought-tolerant and generally pest-resistant. However, its vigorous growth means occasional thinning or pruning may be needed to control its spread.

Green Bamboo Hedge Plant Description

Green Bamboo, or Phyllostachys bissetii, is a hardy and fast-growing bamboo species, well-suited for use as a dense, attractive hedge or screen. Renowned for its rich green canes and vibrant foliage, this variety offers year-round interest and provides excellent privacy and wind protection. Its dense growth habit forms an effective natural barrier, making it ideal for creating secluded garden spaces or enhancing architectural landscapes.

Thriving in both full sun and partial shade, Phyllostachys bissetii is adaptable to a wide range of soil types, though it prefers well-drained soils. It is particularly known for its cold tolerance, making it a reliable choice for UK climates, where it can withstand harsh winter conditions. This bamboo can reach heights of 5 to 7 metres, making it perfect for taller hedges or privacy screens.

Though Phyllostachys bissetii is a spreading bamboo, regular maintenance such as installing root barriers and periodic pruning can help manage its growth. Trimming back older or damaged canes in spring will encourage fresh, healthy shoots, ensuring a dense and vigorous hedge. With its evergreen nature and ability to grow quickly, Green Bamboo is a popular choice for those seeking a durable and visually striking hedge that provides both beauty and functionality year-round.

Pruning Advice

Green Bamboo grows rapidly, so regular pruning is essential to maintain its desired shape. In spring, remove any dead or dying stems and trim new shoots to match the established height of the plant. For overall hedge maintenance, trim twice a year—once in early June and again in late September.

Further Information

Our recommended planting densities for each size and root type are listed in the product grid. These should be used as a guide when considering the time you are willing to wait for your hedge to achieve its full appearance. As a general indication, bare root plants can be spaced at 3 to 7 per metre, while cell-grown plants can be spaced between 4 and 6 per metre. For higher densities, consider planting in a double staggered row or a zig-zag pattern.
