Giant Timber Bamboo – 10 Live Rhizomes | 10+ Inch Phyllostachys vivax | 4+ Nodes Each | Fast-Growing Privacy Bamboo

Create a dramatic bamboo grove with this pack of 10 live Giant Timber Bamboo rhizomes. Phyllostachys vivax, commonly called Chinese Timber Bamboo, is a large running bamboo prized for its tall culms, rapid growth after establishment, and impressive architectural appearance.
Under favorable conditions, mature Phyllostachys vivax can develop towering canes with substantial diameter, making it useful for large landscapes, privacy screens, windbreaks, property borders, and bamboo groves. Its vigorous underground rhizomes allow established plants to spread and produce new shoots.
Each order contains 10 freshly harvested live rhizome sections measuring at least 10 inches long, with 4 or more nodes per rhizome. These are propagation rhizomes rather than established leafy bamboo plants.
Because Phyllostachys vivax is a running bamboo, it can spread aggressively beyond its intended planting area. Rhizome barriers, regular monitoring, and containment are strongly recommended, and local regulations should be checked before planting.
You will receive:
✔️ 10 live Phyllostachys vivax bamboo rhizomes
✔️ Minimum 10 inches long per rhizome
✔️ 4+ nodes on each rhizome
✔️ Freshly harvested propagation material
✔️ Large running timber bamboo species
✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival

For in-ground planting, install an appropriate bamboo rhizome barrier and inspect the perimeter regularly for escaping runners.
