Description

RG Dwarf is all-green and the shortest of the textilis bamboo growing up to 18 feet tall, which makes it a great selection for a shorter privacy screen. A moderate to fast grower to 18 feet, this bamboo forms a tight clump of 1.25 inch diameter culms up to 8 feet wide. Dwarf Weavers Bamboo loves as much sun as you can give it and is hardy to 15°F.

Note: We grow one crop of the clumping bamboo (Bambusa) varieties annually. Because they will not tolerate temperatures below 15 to 20 degrees F, to avoid damage to plants during transit we begin shipping these in April or May, depending on your location.

Growing Preferences

RG Dwarf Weavers Bamboo is very easy to grow in a moist but well drained soil and full to mostly sun. In quick draining soils it’s a good idea to mix in some composted organic matter such as composted cow manure and peat moss with the native soil removed from the planting hole. Mulch well to retain moisture in the soil. Feed three times a year in spring, summer and fall with a natural fertilizer, palm food, or good shrub & tree fertilizer.

How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors

RG Dwarf Weavers Bamboo is a tight clumping, non-invasive bamboo that can grow to 8 feet or more wide over time. That said, if you want to contain it to a smaller area this can be done. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area simply by destroying the young shoots as they emerge. When they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.

The plant arrived in perfect condition and very well packed for shipping. Not a bit of soil had fallen from the pot during shipping.—————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I purchased 1 RG dwarf at the end of the growing season this year. I was hoping for a healthy plant upon arrival, but not much more than that. The bamboo arrived securely packaged with no damage at all from shipping. It looked healthy and hydrated. It sat in the shade a few days until I was able to plant it. Once planted it started growing new shoots in less than a week! What a surprise! I am very pleased with this purchase.——————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
