Haha I remember your post about the black bamboo dying. It's great that you found a new plant. Will be a good addition. I'm sure she will appreciate the privacy it brings

She will. I think it is even better at screening than the black one. And a bit more virulent too which is smashing!!

Yeah it's nice when things like that are fast growing so you don't have to wait decades for the effect that you're looking for. If it's a few seasons and you're good, that's the best case scenario

It pretty much storms up. The first year you plant it, it only grows about a foot but the year after it pretty much doubles in height then the year after its massive. I used to look at my black bamboo and see new canes grow by 6 or 8 inches a day!

Wow that's actually really cool.

The first time I saw the difference on some consecutive sunny days I was staggered!
