10 BEST PRIVACY PLANTS IN FLORIDA | FAST GROWING | CLUMPING BAMBOO

Top 10 Best Plants to Grow in Your Florida Backyard for Privacy
The top 10 best plants to grow in your backyard for privacy are Graceful Bamboo, NBG Bamboo, Asian Lemon, Golden Goddess, RG Dwarf, Cool Buddha, Alphonse Karr, Emerald, Seabreeze, and Blue Bamboo. These bamboo varieties are all newer, improved clumping bamboos that are non‑invasive and stay where you plant them. They are not running bamboo, so you do not have to worry about bamboo spreading into a neighbor’s yard or taking over your property.
At Ocoee Bamboo Farm, all of these varieties are selected specifically for Florida privacy hedges and backyard screening. Each one grows to a different mature height and thickness, which makes it easy to match the right bamboo to your exact privacy goal—whether you are blocking a one‑story neighbor, a two‑story window, pool views, or street traffic.

 

Why Clumping Bamboo Is Best for Privacy
Clumping bamboo is the best choice for backyard privacy because it grows fast, fills in thick, and stays contained in a tight clump.
• Fast growth: Most clumping bamboo varieties can create a usable privacy hedge in 12–24 months with proper watering and fertilizing.
• Non‑invasive roots: Clumping bamboo expands slowly outward from the center, instead of sending runners underground. This makes it much easier to control and eliminates the horror stories people hear about “invasive bamboo.”
• Evergreen coverage: Properly selected clumping bamboo stays green year‑round, so your privacy hedge does not disappear in winter like many other plants.
• Great for property lines: Because the roots are tight clumps, it is easier to keep them on your side of the fence and stay on good terms with neighbors.

Easy to Maintain and Trim to Height
One of the biggest advantages of clumping bamboo for privacy hedges is how easy it is to maintain the height you want.

• Clumping bamboo can be cut or trimmed to almost any height to match your privacy needs.
• Once an individual cane is cut or topped, that cane will not grow any taller. It will stay at that height, and future new canes will grow up around it.
• You can maintain your hedge with basic tools you probably already own:
  • Hedge trimmer
  • Loppers
  • Pruning shears
• This makes it simple to keep a clean, level, professional-looking bamboo hedge along fences, around pools, or between houses. You can choose whether you want a neat, squared-off hedge or a more natural, soft, flowing look just by how you trim.

• Matching Bamboo Variety to Your Privacy Goal
  The reason these are the 10 best plants to grow in your backyard for privacy is that each variety grows to a different size and thickness. That lets you customize your hedge instead of using a “one size fits all” plant.
  • Some varieties stay shorter and more compact, perfect for 6–10 foot hedges.
  • Others grow taller and more upright, ideal for screening second‑story windows or taller neighboring structures.
  • Certain bamboos are narrower and great for tight side yards; others are fuller and better for wide property lines or large backyards.
  Because of these differences, choosing the right bamboo for your specific privacy application is critical. The best results come from talking with a bamboo expert who understands:
  • Your exact height goals
  • How much width/space you have
  • Sun, shade, and soil conditions
  • Distance from fences, pools, and structures
