It's impossible to criticize this…
It's impossible to criticize this company. Plants arrived the next day. They were well packed and very healthy, large plants - exactly as I would have chosen personally from the nursery, had I had the chance. I would recommend this company without reservation.
Great experience for first order. Highly recommend!
My first time ordering from this company and I’m very impressed with their efficiency and excellent courier service. Next day delivery from Aberdeenshire to Gloucestershire was amazing, with plenty of communication in advance. Plants arrived during a spell of very hot weather and left where I requested. They were well packed and all 4 plants arrived looking fresh and well. I also enjoyed the wee biscuit…
Looking forward to seeing how my mixed bundle turns out. I will use this company again and highly recommend them.

As always,delivered what was on the tin etc.
Always wrapped for delivery very well,info sheet too for those who know very little about bamboo.
Reasonably priced.
Bought stuff from them many times over the years.
Use to do good organic seaweed from the shores of Scotland? Collected i guess by them.Stopped doing that product now it seems.

Absolutely superb company. Very knowledgeable always responsive to any questions with great advice and sell great plants at good prices.
Fantastic customer service
Having purchased 8 Fargesia Robusta campbell plants last year using Scottish Bamboo, we came back again this year for another couple of plants-their customer service is fantastic, the plants are very healthy indeed and they also arrive well packaged, it’s very clear that this company really does care about the plants and their customers!
Superb !
This is the 3rd and largest bamboo I've purchased,So far!
great service ,communication and delivery.
Thank you.
Great service
Ordered 2 x bisseti, somewhat scraggly but they provided a short explanation as to why and some foc feed. They have perked up.
The perfume bamboo was splendid.
I say this quietly for fear of others finding out. But with the wide range of bamboos, good service and prompt delivery; they’re the best around 😁
Top plants. Top service.
I have recently had my garden pond upgraded and the surrounding area landscaped. To finish it off I needed four bamboo plants to add “movement“ to the back.
I had a good feel about this family run company when I found their website - and I was correct !!
Four very good condition plants with which I am delighted. Received in good packaging and within a few days - which considering that Scottish Bamboo is located in Aberdeenshire and I live in Hertfordshire was quite remarkable.
Well done guys and thank you.
Really impressed
Really impressed! Very healthy bamboo, fast delivery impressive amount of help in leaflet added. Saving my pennies for another plant, highly recommend.
Buy with confidence.
Clumping bamboo is perfect for my garden. I purchased a Fargesia Jiuzhaigou from Scottish Bamboo last year and it’s great. So decided to go for another and got a Fargesia Nitida ‘Black Pearl’. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Great service from Scottish Bamboo. Highly recommended.
Great plants - arrived very quickly
Plants arrived very quickly, well packed and in great condition. Really useful to have the care and planting guide leaflet with the delivery. The biscuit was a nice touch to enjoy when sitting back to admire the planting out.
Happy to support a family run business. I'll certainly buy more!
Fantastic bamboo
I ordered 3 bamboo plants online. I received a confirmation email and further correspondence to confirm receipt of order and payment with details on how to care for my new plants. The goods arrived the following day, very well packaged and the plants were in tip-top condition. A further little treat of a Biscoff biscuit was also included. I will definitely be placing more orders for bamboo.
Borinda!!
Wow! I have borinda papyrifera after years of searching. Very exciting.
A lovely little plant arrived well packaged and good email updates. I hope I get some lovely blue culms in years to come.
I would recommend and buy again in the future.
Thanks guys.
The help given in choosing, advising and ordering has been first class. Delivery was fast. Bamboo wrapped well and delivered safely. The biscuit included was a nice touch. Would definitely use this company again.
Amazing fast delivery
Amazing fast delivery, good healthy plants, great price and a free biscuit. What more could I want. Thanks
An outstanding wee company!
We were looking for bamboo to use in containers to form a screen along a neighbouring wall. We were uncertain as to the best variety and contacted Scottish Bamboo.
Kerri was extremely helpful, and we selected five plants based on her advice.
The chosen plants arrived quickly and were excellent specimens. They were very well packaged and are now safely installed in their containers. We might well be ordering some more plants from this outstanding company. It’s down to us now to nurture them.
Many thanks to Kerri and the Scottish Bamboo team!
