Why grow clumping bamboo?
– No More Neighbours

  • It's tall and straight.
  • It's the fastest growing plant in the world.
  • It's pest free and low maintenance.
  • It's happy in most environments.
  • It's non-spreading.
  • It's gorgeous.

We’re excited to welcome you to our nursery! Schedule a visit with us, and we’ll showcase a variety of hedging examples and mature plants. Seeing them in person is far more effective than just looking at photos.

 

Are you dealing with noisy neighbours, a looming multi-storey apartment next door, or a recent tree removal that has disrupted your private retreat? Bamboo could be the ideal solution for you. It’s fast-growing and perfect for tackling these urban issues.

 

Over the past 5-7 years, we’ve tested numerous bamboo varieties and have narrowed it down to the top two options for urban screening. While other varieties are suitable for rural settings where width, shape, or extreme height are advantageous, our focus is on urban environments where tidiness and height are key. As a result, we’ve streamlined our selection to these top-performing varieties.

In the era of townhouses, a 1.8m fence often falls short of providing adequate privacy. Luckily, there are no height restrictions for hedges. At Jungle Flora Bamboo, we focus exclusively on non-invasive clumping bamboo varieties, avoiding any invasive runners.

 

Carolyn from Jungle Flora Bamboo is the current president of the NZ Bamboo Society (www.bamboo.org.nz). She’s available to answer any bamboo-related questions you may have and encourages you to explore the society’s website for a wealth of information about bamboo’s benefits and uses.

We only sell Clumping Non-invasive Bamboo

Many people believe that all bamboo is invasive, but in reality, there are two distinct types: running bamboo and clumping, non-invasive bamboo.


The stories of bamboo running wild, overtaking gardens, and causing issues with neighbours have given bamboo a bad reputation. This negative image comes from a few running species that were planted in unsuitable locations. Auckland Council has since banned these invasive species.


At Jungle Flora Bamboo, we exclusively grow clumping, non-invasive bamboo varieties. These bamboos have shallow roots and a non-invasive root structure. Bamboo is technically a grass, and just like other grasses, there are well-behaved types and invasive types. Clumping bamboos are akin to well-mannered lawn grasses like fescue and rye, while running bamboos are similar to invasive grasses like Kikuyu and twitch. We focus on the clumping varieties to ensure you get a manageable and non-invasive solution for your garden.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our nursery maintains a minimal carbon footprint by reusing pots and actively encouraging the return of undamaged bags to prevent landfill waste. Bamboo, known for its rapid growth, sequesters more carbon than many other plants, making it an excellent choice for reducing your carbon footprint. By planting a living bamboo fence, you’re contributing to the fight against global warming. Every little bit helps!
