I’m thinking of planting ornamental bamboo along the edge of my terrace and need decent planters that can handle the aggressive roots and won’t topple over. Something strong and preferably a bit decorative too – not just the usual basic garden centre tubs. Any leads?

If you're planning to grow bamboo outdoors, sturdy planters are a must because bamboo roots can get super aggressive over time. I found that solid concrete or thick wooden containers work great, especially if you're looking to keep things in control with rawaccel growth.
I’d suggest having a look here: https://idealistplanters.co.uk/catalogue/planters_for_trees/bamboo_plant_planters/ These planters are specifically selected for bamboo – they’re deep, stable and stylish, and can hold up well against root pressure and changing weather.
