From Bamboo to Olive Trees: Buy Mature Trees, Hedging Plants & Garden Shrubs Online

At Bamboo Kings, we started with a simple idea: make high-quality bamboo plants accessible to everyone. 

When we first entered the market, it was surprisingly difficult to find smaller, affordable bamboo clumps without compromising on quality. Many garden centres offer limited choice, often at inflated prices, and we knew there was a better way.

Today, we’ve grown into a trusted online store where you can buy bamboo plants, mature trees, hedging plants and ornamental shrubs with confidence. While our range has expanded, bamboo remains at the heart of what we do.

Why Choose Bamboo for Your Garden?

Bamboo is one of the most versatile and rewarding plants you can introduce into your outdoor space. Whether you’re designing a modern garden, creating privacy or changing the layout of your garden, bamboo offers a unique combination of beauty and practicality.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Fast growing – it’s ideal for quickly creating screens and privacy

• Evergreen foliage – year-round interest

• Low maintenance – once established, bamboo is easy to care for

• Architectural appeal – clean lines makes your garden look both modern and beautiful

• Eco-friendly – a sustainable and renewable choice

At Bamboo Kings, we stock hundreds of species and sizes of bamboo, including both clumping and running bamboo, so you can find the perfect match for your space.

Our Bamboo Range: Quality You Can Trust

We take pride in how we grow and care for every plant. All our bamboo is nurtured under controlled conditions to ensure strong roots and healthy growing plants. When you buy from us, you’re not just purchasing a plant: you’re investing in something that’s been carefully cultivated.

Clumping Bamboo

Clumping bamboo is a popular choice for UK gardens because it grows in tight, manageable clusters. It’s perfect if you want a controlled planting area without aggressive spread.

• Ideal for smaller gardens

• Great for decorative planting

• Minimal maintenance

Running Bamboo

Running bamboo spreads more freely and is often used for larger spaces or bold landscaping projects. With the right management, it can create stunning natural screens.

• Excellent for privacy hedging

• Fast coverage

• Best paired with root control systems

To help manage growth effectively, we also supply bamboo barriers and pots, which are essential for controlling root spread and keeping your garden organised.

Bamboo Barriers and Pots: Essential Accessories

If you’re planting running bamboo, proper containment is key. That’s why we offer a dedicated range of pots and bamboo barriers designed to make planting simple and stress-free.

Our barriers are:

• Durable and long-lasting

• Easy to install

• Designed to control root spread effectively

Using a bamboo root barrier allows you to enjoy the benefits of fast-growing bamboo without worrying about unwanted expansion.

Beyond Bamboo: Trees, Hedging & Shrubs

While bamboo is our speciality, we’ve expanded our collection to include a wide variety of mature trees, hedging plants, and ornamental shrubs. This allows you to design a complete garden in one place.

Our wider range includes:

• Mature trees such as olive trees for instant impact

• Hedging plants for privacy and structure

• Ornamental shrubs for colour and texture

We’ve carefully selected each product to complement our bamboo offering, helping you create a balanced and cohesive outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bamboo

Is bamboo suitable for gardens in the UK?

Yes, many bamboo species thrive in the British climate. We stock varieties that are fully hardy and well-suited to conditions in the UK.

What’s the difference between clumping and running bamboo?

Clumping bamboo grows in tight, controlled clusters, while running bamboo spreads more aggressively. Running varieties are ideal for large areas but need to be managed with barriers.

Do I need a root barrier?

If you’re planting running bamboo, we strongly recommend using a root barrier. It prevents the plant from spreading where you don’t want it and keeps your garden manageable.

How fast does bamboo grow?

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world! Some varieties can grow several feet per year under the right conditions.

Can I grow bamboo in pots?

Yes, many species grow well in containers. Using pots is a great way to control their size and where they’re placed, especially in smaller gardens or patios.

Creating a Garden That Works for You

Every garden is different. Some people want a private retreat, others want a modern outdoor space, and some simply want low-maintenance greenery. Bamboo offers flexibility for all of these goals.

By combining bamboo with hedges, mature trees and shrubs, you can create:

• Natural screens for privacy 

• Attractive garden layouts

• Greenery all year round

• A contemporary atmosphere

We’re here to help you achieve that vision with plants that are both practical and beautiful.
