We offer the "Wow!" factor: Robust container plants that give your landscape "instant gratification."
We don't keep regular retail hours, so sales and visits by appointment only. All bamboo is sold in containers. Although we don't offer shipping, we do offer you the opportunity to personally inspect and select your bamboo. Can't make the drive? Want a dozen Vivax, but drive a Honda Civic? Delivery can be arranged; see our FAQ for details.
Prices start at $40 per container. Prices go up, depending on size and grade. Each plant is individually graded and priced. The $40 plants go quickly! Most of the bamboo we sell is in the $60 range.
Poles: Yes, we sell bamboo poles. We cut them from 8 to 9 feet long; they range from two to three inches in diameter. We just cut a new batch of poles for the 2009 season. Your choice: $6 each. We also cut premium poles: just under 10 feet long, and generally larger and straighter than our other poles. These are often sought after by event planners, wedding planners, and so forth. Premium poles are $10 each.

The Year So Far: 2009
Recent abundant rains have triggered some successful late-season shooting in several species, which is rare but not unheard of. Most bamboo in the metro Atlanta area sends up shoots in April. Shoots that emerge in late summer typically grow only a few inches and die. However, we've seen several species send up shoots in late summer, which continued to grow into mature culms and produce limbs and leaves.

Argo Bamboo Farm
Why a Georgia bamboo farm? Unchecked development and urban/suburban sprawl runs rampant throughout much of the state and beyond. A recent UGA study reported that the region loses a whopping 50 acres of trees each day! To improve their landscape and create natural visual and sound barriers, home owners are turning to bamboo for its hardiness, evergreen leaves, and unique beauty. At Argo Farm, we seek to provide a convenient bamboo source for home owners, landscapers, and nurseries.
