Fall Special MOSO Live Bamboo Root 6pc per order, 5 inches or longer each.

July 8, 2026

MOSO Hardy Bamboo Root. Fast growing, running root. Great for privacy, also great for providing shade. Each order is removed from ground at time of sale, pieces are 5in long, and there might be extra pieces added to the package depending on the size/length of the root is that is dug up. Understand that this is a root with rhizomes, and most likely will not have greenery on them. When you receive your package, plant roots horizontally, 3 to 4 inch’s deep, mix some good potting soil with the earth, water and leave alone. Does not require a lot of water, do not over water or they will rot under ground. Please note the shoots/rhizomes might fall off during transport but the root is live and if planted and watered correctly it will sprout new shoots/rhizomes. ALSO SHOOTS/SPROUTS PROBABLY WILL NOT BREAK SOIL WHERE YOUR ROOT IS PLANTED, LOOK IN ALL DIRECTIONS FOR GROWTH ABOVE GROUND! THE LAST PICTURE WILL BE WHAT NEW GROWTH LOOKS LIKE!! YOU MAY THINK THAT THE ROOT IS DEAD BUT I PROMISE YOU IT IS GROWING UNDERGROUND! I would also mix with your water some kind of plant food, I use Super Thrive. As you see in the picture it stay green all year, even when it snows!! If you have ANY questions please contact me, I will help you. This is very very hard to kill, I have replanted roots in my yard with 100% success. Thank you
