bamboo island

This is suppose to represent Hawaii, but that is another story I need to tell.

We have the bamboo somewhat contained by a plastic liner buried in the ground.

I had to do "escape control" this summer for the first time. I figure I'll need to do that about every 2-3 years from now on. I am thinking of changing this area to a hollywood juniper in the future.

I have the hollywood juniper growing now in the nursery area in case I decide to make the change later.

It is nice to have something tall to create shade in this location as I BBQ just to the left and to the left is where the shade goes in the summer afternoons.
