Our Giant Timber Bamboo Collection

Timber bamboo is grown for its large diameter canes, impressive height, and bold landscape presence. At Maya Gardens, we offer nursery-grown timber bamboo selected for strength, vigor, and performance in suitable climates.

Timber bamboo varieties are running bamboo types, meaning they spread through underground rhizomes and require planning and containment. When properly managed, timber bamboo is ideal for privacy screens, windbreaks, natural barriers, and specialty projects. Our timber bamboo varieties are suited to USDA zones 6–10, depending on the species, and each listing includes clear details on mature height, cane diameter, and cold tolerance.

With proper spacing and containment, timber bamboo creates a dramatic and fast-growing landscape feature.
