Purchasing Bamboo Plants
The best place to start looking for your new Bamboo plants is an online search where you will find lots of growers and information. Using a search engine in your Internet browser like Google, type the search keywords you are looking for into the search box e.g. “order screening bamboo plants”.
The Google search will return a lot of websites in the search results for you to choose from. We have noted that people who conduct their own research first on various Bamboo websites are less inclined to haggle over prices when making enquiries at our wholesale nursery as they have been able to make their own price comparisons and are satisfied that we offer great value for our bamboo plants.
It is recommended that people search for recommendations and comments that may have been made online about bamboo suppliers and their plants. Checking references and recommendations is good practice to ensure you are dealing with a reputable bamboo supplier. This will help to make sure you are buying plants from a reliable bamboo nursery as some buyers have had bad experiences with making an online bamboo purchase.
When you have found a reputable wholesale bamboo nursery, make a request for a quote for the supply and delivery of the required bamboo plants. When making your quote request, you will need to specify plant species, container (pot or bag) size e.g. 300mm pots and a delivery address to enable an accurate calculation including freight for plants to be delivered to the your location. Reputable Bamboo wholesalers will have delivery arrangements in place to ensure that trucks make deliveries up to three times a week and therefore you would be able to expect that your plants would be delivered within a few days of making your order. For instance, if your delivery point is Brisbane, Bamboos Wholesale Nursery will normally be able to deliver bamboo plants overnight at reasonable freight rates. These freight rates are reduced even further if the bamboo plants are collected from the freight company terminal.
For the information of potential buyers, freight charges for a full pallet of bamboo in 200mm pots (totalling about 75 bamboo plants) is about $80 when collected at the trucking company depot or around $130 delivered to your specified delivery location. This pricing based on an average cost from the Bamboos Wholesale Nursery to Brisbane. Prices for delivery to Sydney, Melbourne and export overseas will be more expensive, but still great value.
You will find that when dealing with a wholesale bamboo nursery, minimum quantity orders will apply as freight is simply not viable for a small number of plants.
Experienced transport companies are used by Wholesale Bamboo nurseries and growers to ensure plants are delivered in good condition. The wholesale nursery will treat plants with wetting agents and thoroughly watering prior to transport to make sure the bamboo plants are delivered in a healthy condition.
