Specialist bamboo pruning can be fun and also have a huge impact on the wider garden space. Pruning bamboo is just like pruning most other trees or shrubs, you just need to know where and when to prune and how much you can take off! Here the bamboo is pruned and thinned to clear the view form the kitchen window to the rest of the garden. Instead of simply cutting to plants down the plants are pleached to create a ‘stilts’ effect. The lower foliage clump is maintained with the canes or ‘stilts’ supporting an upper foliage layer.
