Bamboos
Bamboos have a timeless exotic elegance. The feel of them, the dappled shade patterns they cast, and the calming rustling of the foliage as the breeze caresses them, all create a magical garden atmosphere.
What’s more, bamboos are evergreen, frost-resistant and largely untroubled by pests and diseases. They can be grown as dramatic solitary specimens in combination with other plants, as groundcover or even as a hedge.
At Scalp Wood Nurseries our range of bamboos are second to none. In addition to our very high standards we present customers with an ever expanding collection at unmatched prices.
