How much does bamboo cost?

 

Although bamboo is generally tough and fast growing once established, it is slow and labour intensive to propagate, usually by root division. Generally, excepting sales and rare species, sizes and costs range as follows:

Container         Typical Size      # of Culms           Price

.....1 gallon           6” to 2’ high         1 to 3           $15 to 25

.....2 gallon           ....2’ to 3’               3 to 5           $25 to 35

.....3 gallon             3’ to 5’               3 to 5           $35 to 60

.......5 gallon              ..5’ to 8’               3 to 5          $50 to 110

....,.7 to 10 gal.          ..7’ to 12’             3 to 10         $80 to 160


Smaller, ground cover bamboo will tend to have many more culms and grow shorter. Phyllostachys species will generally be taller with fewer culms.

 

We also stock very large specimens – for example, 25 gallon pots with 20 foot vivax timber bamboo, capable of growing to 50 feet. Regarding special orders, we can supply almost any size and species of bamboo you require usually within 30 days.
