Too good for the pandas

Been considering this purchase for a long time as I was out the country. In the meantime, had what sounded like great advice from the SB team. Bought the bamboo as soon as the time was right - a clumping, dwarf variety. Arrived in good time and in good condition. Very satisfied. I’d definitely buy from SB when I’m ready to extend my hedge. Well recommended.

Lovely quality bamboo plants…

3 really lovely quality bamboo plants arrived this week - really happy with each plant and how they were packaged and delivered. A very lovely message from customer service too in answer to a question I’d had - would definitely recommend! Excited to see how my bamboo now fill the planters and provide the screening I’m hoping for.

This was my first time ordering from…

This was my first time ordering from Scottish Bamboo. I had read reviews and done a thorough search on their website. I was very impressed and decided to go ahead my with order. The company kept me updated with emails and information on how to care for my plants. The delivery time was 24/48 hours and the next day my order arrived. My bamboo was carefully and securely packed and the plant itself was in great condition. I will definitely be ordering more in the near future.

Fargesia Bamboo Plants

I purchased a collection of 5 Fargesia bamboo plants. The selection is superb with an excellent mix of varieties, and the plants are a good size and very healthy. I was impressed by the growing information sheet and the detail and standard of packing, even down to a note marking where to open. Communication has been excellent.

Delivery, as promised the next day by APC, was faultless.

Overall, great service, superb plants, excellent value for money and Scottish Bamboo is very highly recommended. I will certainly be purchasing from this company again.

First class company and products.

I now have a total of eight exceptional bamboo plants (and I will be ordering a further three next year to give one side of the patio some much needed privacy). I cannot praise the company enough for their patience, plant quality and the FAQ on their website is extremely useful as well as very interesting. My plants were very carefully packaged and came with a very useful care guide. I am now a bamboo convert and will be a life long customer of this great company.
(Before discovering this company I ordered 4 plants from E**Y and as it turned out the plants were not “Campbell” but another variety that can be invasive if not contained and planted properly in the garden but fortunately for me I had planted them into pots!).

Excellent Company

Excellent customer service from Kerri, prompt informative replies to my initial enquiries as I was looking for a gift for my son. I was kept informed all through the ordering process. Overnight delivery of the plants which arrived well packaged, looking really healthy, together with instructions on caring for the plants. Buying plants online is always a bit of a lottery, but the quality and price of these bamboo plants is much better than local garden centres. I would definitely buy from Scottish Bamboo again.

Fantastic Plants and service

Today I received my 6th order from Scottish Bamboo and I was not disappointed. All the Bamboo plants I have received have thrived. I have 12 established plants in pots and two in the ground and all are brilliant. I have no doubt the 3 plants I received today will thrive also. I love these plants and will order again in the future. The service is also amazing, over night delivery of plants which is great and informed all the way.

Happy bamboo customers

We would normally buy plants having seen them in local nurseries or garden centres but took a punt on mail order via Scottish Bamboo.
Throughout the process Scottish Bamboo were amazing, answering our queries fully and promptly. Our first bamboo arrived earlier this year, excellent packaging, instructions for planting and aftercare, speedy delivery and plant exceeded our expectations. It's thrived where we put it and have been so impressed that yes, we've just ordered another two to plant alongside it and have been equally impressed with Scottish Bamboo and the whole process. We now have a cluster of three in our garden and people already asking where did we get them from.
If you're after bamboo, think Scottish Bamboo. Thoroughly recommended.
