Why Bamboo

Approximately 1500 different species of bamboo exist in the world that are native to every continent except Europe. As the fastest growing plant on earth, it can grow more than 45 inches in just one day.

​

Bamboo plants are growing in popularity for good reason. Fast growing and easy to care for, bamboo plants are pretty, practical and thrive in warm climates. Whether you’re looking to add a tropical touch to existing landscaping or use bamboo plants to create a privacy between neighboring properties, New Shoots Bamboo Nursery can meet all of your needs.

​
