The Society was formed by Michael Hirsh in 1985, and was called The Bamboo Network. It amalgamated with other European societies in 1986, and was renamed The European Bamboo Network in order to differentiate it from the Australian Bamboo network. In 1989, the European Bamboo Network reverted to its former regional basis, and the British society was renamed The Bamboo Society (EBS Great Britain). The Society is affiliated to The Royal Horticultural Society. UK - Bamboos website contains everything you need to know about choosing the right bamboos for your garden from a large range of species together with cultural details. Buying and Planting Bamboo Plants in the UK and Growing Cold Hardy Bamboo with Creating a Gravel Garden using Bamboo and Grasses data from the Bamboo Store pages will aid your choice of bamboos.

In this economic climate of 2006-2013, I can fully understand why mail-order nurseries throughout the world are unwilling to receive free advertising of their bamboos through the sharing of photos and growing details to the home-owner, but being an idiot in 2023:- I am requesting since January 2007 the donation of the following colour photographs of plants for display in this section:-
Each main photograph will be displayed in a 150 x 150 pixels graphic item. Each thumbnail photograph will be displayed in 50 x 50 pixels graphic item. Freeway allocates 72 pixels per inch. The photographs require to be in JPEG Format and send to Chris Garnons-Williams at 1 Eastmoor Farm Cottages, Moor Street, Rainham, Kent, ME8 8QE England. Please give the Latin name of the plant and your contact details (It would be preferable that it is either your website or email address rather than your phone number). These will then appear with the relevant photograph. If you happen to be a Nursery, then this link could provide a means for people getting that plant; that they require. |
Please be carefull! Pandas eat bamboo and milk. |

Golden-Green in Full Sun, Pea Green in Shade |
144 x indefinite (360 x indefinite) One of the best clump-forming fast-growing forms in the UK. Dense growth is stiff and upright. Grow in containers, as specimen plants, as a screen or hedge, or in groups amongst small shrubs in a border. This plant has been misnamed because the stems will only go golden (aurea) if grown in full sun. |

240 x indefinite (600 x indefinite) Bolt upright, arching at the top. The most widely planted bamboo. The foliage clings to the culm over many years. Invasive, so needs room to spread - control spreading growth by planting in 2 feet depth and width concrete lined trench. Tends to habit of flowering massively, taking several years to regain its former glory. Grow in a deciduous woodland or wild garden, or as screening/ hedging (3 feet between each plant). When planted as a windbreak, the rustle of the leaves creates a soothing noise. |
||||||
Pale Green with White bloom, fading to pale Straw Colour |
Dark Green. First cold snap creates White margins. Then the leaves become twisted and curled to provide a variegated effect. |
48 x indefinite (120 x indefinite) Invasive, so needs room to spread and use physical barriers. Valuable medium height ground cover plant and weed suppressor, whose pseudo-variegation is a winter bonus. Useful for stabilizing banks. Grow in big clumps for most impact, or as a small hedge. |

Pale Green |
156 x 48 (390 x 120) Strong Clump-forming form, which grows to a thick bush. Use as a specimen or hedge plant. |
