Re: Update on bamboo
When I first started this project a few years ago, I dug up a large culm that was 50' tall and 3" diameter. The root ball was approximately 200to 250lbs and was about 3' diameter. I'm hoping that in the next 5 years I start seeing some new growth close to that size. How many years exactly? :al...

Re: Update on bamboo
I'm not sure how tall these are going to get this year but I have two new ones that are already at about 17' and have probably another foot or two to go. They haven't really started putting out branches yet but it won't be long. I ventured out and did a thorough investigation on my aurea. I actually...

Update on bamboo
It's been a long time since I made any posts here. I wanted to update anyone interested with the status of the bamboo in my 'grove'. The henon had a great up sizing this year. The shoots are almost twice as large than last year. Unfortunately, my moso has been snuffed out by my henon. I have not not...

Re: Mayhaw, disease?
I've never grown mayhaws, but couldn't an exceptionally cold winter weaken a lot of plants making them more susceptible to fungi and pests? It looks like some type of fungus so it may require some kind of fungicide to wipe out if it is ruining the tree. I think the best thing to do is to remove the...

Re: Mayhaw, disease?
I did a bit more research and found this to be what is known as Cedar Apple Rust . I am currently unsure how to go about treating these trees. I have two small mayhaws and would hate to see them not be more productive. I say productive but I suppose I would like to be able to harvest all of the crop...

Mayhaw, disease?
I think these have a disease but don't know what it could be. Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it? The small 'hairs' that are on the diseased part leave a bright orange powdery substance when touched.

Henon growth 2013
A few years ago I dug a 50', 3" diameter culm and after a year it put out some shoots of about 1" diameter. This year I found a shoot which measures about 1 3/8" diameter. I hope next year it will continue with the larger diameter culms and the following year have more upsizing. The a...

New shoots 2013
Well my Moso shoots have been up for about 4 weeks now and now my P. Aurea has now started coming up. I have about 10 new shoots with 2 of them already at ~6" tall. I am very curious as to how my Henon will do this year. I dug a 50' tall 3" Henon culm about 2 years ago and the next year it...

Re: ID this please
They are planted very close to each other. I regret planting them so close to each other. I guess I only did that because I didn't have a good place to plant them otherwise. I also didn't want my wife to get mad as the bamboo would be running everywhere and possibly one day shooting up through our m...
