Fascination with bamboos has led many gardeners to buy bamboos, but ignorance of their requirements has often brought frustration and despair. This book aims to correct that situation and offers a major source of detailed reference information and inspirational colour pictures. Bamboos are currently growing in popularity in Europe, not only for their attractive appearance but also because of their adaptable nature. These exotic plants not only survive the climate - many species are frost-tolerant - but they will also fit into a wide variety of landscapes, from small and large gardens to terraces, balconies and even on roofs.
