We will have this unique beauty at our upcoming bamboo plant sale on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at Sacramento’s Shepard Garden and Arts Center - Bambusa ventricosa “Buddha’s Belly Kimmei.”

Derives its “belly-like” growth when grown with less water and/or in tighter growing conditions, like in a pot.

These sell in 3 gallon containers for $40 plus tax.

Specific details on the upcoming plant sale can be found here - https://madmanbamboo.com/events/

See you there! 🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋😎

Bursting at the seams with unique bamboo. The weather has been mild recently and I have been propagating alot of bamboo in preparation for our October 7, 2023 plant sale in Sacramento, details here - https://madmanbamboo.com/events/. 🎋🎋🎋🎋😎

Braved the humid day, to get some mother plants established - the ever popular, beautiful and hard to find “Graceful Bamboo (Bambusa textilis gracilis).

Once established, should have this variety readily available. 🎋🎋🎋🎋☀️🤞🏻

Big thank you to Debbie and Kathy for keeping garden reporting going strong in the Sacramento region. Without their dedication the local plant scene would have suffered, they kept it thriving.

Debbie covered our bamboo nursery, specializing in unique clumping bamboo plants back in 2009, with accurate and informed journalism on a plant that is completely misunderstood, but she was able to make the distinction between running bamboo, that you only container grow in an urban setting, versus clumping bamboo that is way tamer and suitable in most urban gardens.

Thank you both for your informed journalism and supporting Sacramento’s local gardening scene and local plant growers.
