Beautiful plants, great service!
Having just received my Fargesia Nitida 'Black Pearl' I can’t recommend this company enough. My bamboo is extremely healthy and much larger then expected. I’ll be back for more before long. Thanks for your great service.

Super company and plants
I have now had three bamboos from Scottish Bamboo and they have all arrived quickly, well packed to survive the journey and all are nice plants. It's really great that I'm down in Tunbridge Wells in Kent and I can buy from this nursery in the middle of Aberdeenshire - must be at least 600 miles away.

Three for the vendors
Three for the vendors, minus two for the delivery. No contact was made prior to delivery despite having been told this would occur. What could have gone wrong?

I stumbled on this company via a fb tropical plants page, and since I have been watching Scottish Bamboo’s website for Fargesia Jiuzhaigou (red stemmed bamboo) to come in. And last week I placed my order, it arrived in mint condition and so well packed, also very clear emailed instructions from SB, even down to how to open the box etc 👏👏👏 I was very happy to support a Scottish company and I would definitely use this company again. Oh, and thanks for the Mini Mars Bar 👍 nice touch.

Thanks to all at Scottish Bamboo!
Thanks to all at Scottish Bamboo. Received 7 plants on the sunny Isle of Wight. Very well packaged so the plants arrived looking healthy and in fabulous condition. The enclosed instructions were helpful and the bamboo plants have been planted today! Thank you!
Great company, fantastic plant
I found this site online quite by chance and decided to take a punt based on the reviews. The response from Scottish Bamboo about which would be the best bamboo for my needs, came quickly and with an obvious depth of knowledge. The excellent quality and good sized plant arrived within 5 days, beautifully packed. I shall definitely use Scottish Bamboo again and have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Plants arrived in good condition
Plants arrived in good condition. Great Instructions.
Good choice for a specimen plant
First class. My plant arrived bang on time and well packaged. It appears in rude health with a strong root system. The rest is up to me and the cultural instructions were most welcome.
Excellent service
I ordered 2 bamboo plants, the communication was excellent, and they arrived very quickly. I was prepared for delays but received them on the 3rd working day. I have no experience with bamboos, but the plants look healthy, so hopefully I will be able to keep them alive.
Packaging was great, and instructions very clear. Thank you for the excellent customer service.
Well done Scottish Bamboo!
We received our order today 2 Fargesia Robusta Campbell and 1 Fargesia Nitida Black Pearl. They arrived in great condition and well done for the packaging! These are our first bamboos and looking forward to seeing them flourish. We are hoping to use Scottish Bamboo in the future,
Thank you.
Great plants and great delivery
Dispatched within the timeframe quoted and quick delivery. I was a bit concerned about ordering such large plants online but can’t fault the thought put into the packaging and clear instructions. Plants came well watered despite the current weather and all 3 look good healthy specimens with strong root balls. Now planted and looking good. Would definitely recommend for your bamboo. Suspect I will be back for more.
Black Pearl - great purchase
Ordered 12 x Black Pearl which were with me in good time, plus a pre-warning about how to unpack which was very useful.
Had tried to order before though the website rightly said that plant ordering was limited due to stocks. Patience and regular site checking worked well.
Plants are fantastic: sturdy, well looked after, packed extremely well and obviously with care. I can't wait to plant them.
I will definitely recommend Scottish Bamboo to anyone considering buying bamboo.
The supporting leaflet that came with the bamboos and the info on the site is also very well thought out very helpful and useful.
Many thanks - so appreciated.
