Description

An exceptionally cold hardy bamboo to -15 degrees F, we can safely say that the Bisset Bamboo can be grown as far north as USDA Zone 5 and may survive winters in USDA Zone 4 when mulched heavily. Tolerant to most all planting sites and conditions and also very drought tolerant when established, Bisset is a vigorous grower with dark grey-green canes and very dense, soft textured dark green leaves that make it one of the best selections for a quick and dense evergreen privacy screen in colder climates. In USDA Zone 7 and further south, Bisset can grow 30 feet or a little taller. In Zone 6 plants might reach 18 feet tall. Zone 5 gardeners can expect to to 12 feet in height. As with many other Phyllostachys, canes will develop a golden hue in more sun.

This bamboo is named for David Bisset who was Superintendent of the USDA Plant Introduction Station in Savannah, Georgia from 1924 until 1957

Growing Preferences

How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors

Bisset Bamboo is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots in spring. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. New shoots of some bamboo varieties can also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.
