Description

|
|
Bamboos are valued for their attractive culms, year-round foliage, and the sense of serenity that they bring to a garden, as well as for screening eyesores and buffering noise. But the key to success is careful selection, notes English nurseryman, landscaper, and consultant Paul Whittaker, who presents the 50 best bamboos based on appearance and usefulness. He discusses incorporating bamboos in the mixed border, using them to create Japanese- or Mediterranean-style gardens, establishing them in containers, and the best bamboos for small gardens or waterside planting. "Practical Bamboos is a great guide for bamboo-lovers, who get 175 pages with photos and glossary. For bamboo-haters, Whittaker outlines three ways to control or eliminate out-of-control bamboo."—Philadelphia Inquirer
