Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 23, 2016 Growing bamboo trees on a balcony Certain trees are not appropriate at one's apartment balcony. For example; bamboo trees need as much height as possible. In this photo, the trees have even exceeded the height of the owners balcony ceiling. It is dangerous to trim the trees now. Even if the upper floor neighbour gave them permission to do so. Cannot also image the amount of falling leaves to neighbors below... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 31, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted October 31, 2018 Umbrella type of tree... Actual Italian name is Bucida molinetti. During the dry Seasons, it sheds lots and lots of small leaves... Stepping on these leaves is like stepping on mini-fire crackers...as one can hear the grinding + popping sound as the leaves are crushed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 31, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted October 31, 2018 Opposite is true for these trees. They shed few leaves at any one time. Well behaved and can grow thin and tall. A good thing is that they look so unappealing to the termites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
