Luckily I was warned about bamboo early on....


Bamboo has a bad reputation, it is not that hard to control the running type, the clumping type only get 8 feet wide or so, but don't send out runners.

I am planting the clumping type, two reasons, I don't want to have to worry about it moving into other plant's spaces and the nursery in Phoenix that sells Arizona tolerant bamboo only sells the clumping type

Not sure how much research you have done on palm trees out there..... but my BiL curses every year when he has to go out and cut the dead fronds off --- especially now that the trees are tall enough to be out of reach with his ladder and pole saw. You'll have a few years before thats a big issue for you..... Also that the palm trees tend to be a haven for rats nests and scorpions....


I think Casey is very versed in the ways of the palms...


Palm TREES, to be clear. :wink05:

Yes, Casey was the most prolific palm tree daddy in all of the Pacific Northwest.



Yep, he had plenty of ‘em here in the PNW.

In fact, he had something like 50-60 for give-away on here prior to moving…


I had over 400 at one point......they were Chinese Fan Palms, which are very cold hardy and grow just about anywhere
