Re: First Shoots of 2020
I have a row of Henon and a row of Japanese Timber that are 8 or 9 years old that never upsized like i expected. I couldn't say why.

Re: First Shoots of 2020
Here's one pic i posted about 5 years ago http://www.bambooweb.info/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6976 It shows new shoots of Phyllostachys vivax aureocaulis and you can see why I'd favor their appearance, plus their leaf color is the darkest green of any of my plants. I also have a similar plant calle...

First Shoots of 2020
Today April 10, i have Moso new shoots that measure 5 inches in diameter and I'd guess 25 feet tall. I have a few Japanese Timber Bamboo poking through, but it's still a bit early for new shoots of them. I'm in Zone 7b. Update on my bamboo findings (long time since i posted). I've been growing bambo...

Re: Clone X
I'm zone 7a and i have Clone X i planted out just to see how they would do. I planted 2 small one gallon pots in the Spring of 2013.

Re: Goats as weed control
An old thread - but might as well update it with my goat experience. About 15 years ago i started keeping pygmy goats and had as many as 16 at one time. I had a patch of saw briers as big around as your thumb and 8 - 10 feet tall. That briar-patch was about 35 feet across and super thick. The goats ...

Re: moso seedlings leaves yellowing
Not relevant to your young plants, but i have approx 3 and 4 year old knee-high to shoulder high moso every 10 foot or so, spaced around the border of a 3 acre wooded area. They were started from seed. It's been a milder than usual winter, but we did have a cold snap into single digits. What really ...

Re: Here's how to get rid of mildew on your yellow canes
8 days afterwards looks like this. Actually, would be wise to hose them off 15 - 30 mins after and you might wash more of it off. We rinsed after in the old days with siding. I didn't rise these. I've read that white vinegar works - haven't tested it. I also read that borax works, it did not work fo...
