The Source for Bamboo in Texas

Caldwell Nursery offers one of the largest selections of non-invasive clumping bamboo available. We maintain a large specimen garden of 40 plus species of bamboo for our visitors to see what their potential bamboo selections will look like planted in the ground.

We are committed to offering collectors the widest selection of rare and unusual bamboo available in Texas.

Most of our bamboo are clumping non-invasive varieties with the exception of a few collectible 'running' varieties.
