It appears to be clump forming and is happy in the position it is in. I would like to move it but don’t want to kill it. Is moving advisable? If so at what time of year would be best? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago Although bamboo looks like a shrub, it is really more like a grass and best moved just at the start of the growing season in spring.
