Cheap Boo
I was at my local Lowe's and saw Fargesia rufa, and Himalaycalamus falconeri in one gallon pots for $10.00. I already have 2 rufas and the other one isn't even hardy to my area or I would have bought some. Wish they would have had something that I didn't already have or something hardy to my area.

RE: Cheap Boo
buy'em and trade 'em...I'd say it's a low risk proposition for you if you can spare the cash briefly while you 'do the deals'.

Like Kyuzo (pictured above) in "The Seven Samurai," I've "...Killed (more than) two..." bamboos.

Dang! Why don't the local Lowe's here sell 'boo?!

Re: Cheap Boo
I would like to have a Fargesia rufa and $10 dollars isn't a bad price. What sort of bamboo would you trade for?ocimum_nate wrote:I was at my local Lowe's and saw Fargesia rufa, and Himalaycalamus falconeri in one gallon pots for $10.00.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

RE: Cheap Boo
Anybody got Fargesia robusta, or any other type of clumper that they might be interested in trading? Same terms as Booman.

RE: Cheap Boo
I went to another Lowe's closer to where I work last Friday and picked up a one gallon pot of Sasa veitchii with a Booshoot tag on it for $5.00. The plants didn't look as good as the Fargesia rufa I picked up in August. but they looked pretty good for 5.00 anyhow.

The only bamboo my Lowe's has is Lucky Bamboo.

RE: Cheap Boo
Before the bamboo came in this year when I would inquire about it. The associates would say yes we have it and when I said I couldn't see it they would walk me to the lucky bamboo display. Perhaps this is part of the reason that I tease lucky bamboo enthusiasts.

Sure, Mr. Foley, go on blaming your actions on everyone else.Before the bamboo came in this year when I would inquire about it.

RE: Cheap Boo
Nothing like some good cheap boo, problem is when you run out of room to grow all of your boo.
