With a trailer you can also transport them, however you would need to lie the plants down and cover them with shadecloth or well tied down tarps also to avoid wind damage.

Would it be ok to transport the plants in a falcon sedan or an open air trailer? I've read some articles on the net that this could potentially damage plants. I would be travelling 30mins north of heathwood. Hi,

I’m planning on picking up plants from your heathwood depot. Would it be ok to transport the plants in a falcon sedan or an open air trailer? I’ve read some articles on the net that this could potentially damage plants. I would be travelling 30mins north of heathwood.

Clumping bamboo is not a fussy plant when it comes to soil type. The answer to improve any soil if you have concerns, be it too light or too heavy, is the addition of organic matter and in doing this you should have no problem growing healthy bamboo clumps. As for water requirements, this can vary from species to species but as a general rule plenty of water is best to get the plants established when first planted. Extra water during the Spring/Summer growth season will see phenomenal growth rates, however once the plants are established they are quite drought tolerant and can easily survive on rainfall alone. In worst drought conditions, large plants that are not under watering systems can lose up to 90% of their foliage, however will quickly refoliate within a week or two of rain.
