I am considering buying some Semiarundinaria fastuosa ‘Viridis’ (coastal bamboo) to grow as a privacy screen in lined cedar planters near a fence. The bamboo would get full sun on the fence side but would be shaded from the back by a large cedar tree. Would this variety grow in these conditions? I'm on mid Vancouver Island. I need something to grow tall and quickly.
The planters would be made up of cedar panels about 1" thick and lined with 60mm rhizome barrier. Here is a link to a similar type of box: It's Not Work, It's Gardening!: Inspired by me!
A quick search within this forum for posts since Dec 31/18 with key word “bamboo” yields a few threads that may help you And Ron B is correct in asking further detail about containers I screen shot a few threads so you can look up - esp about the so-called container (does bamboo know that word?!) See images x 4 attached below Meanwhile here is one of the threads to look up What would you plant to screen this eyesore?
