Jason, looks like a good start, what is still in a pot to the right in the Parvifolia photo? Where is your new place?

It's just down the road. To the right is huangwenzhu and two vivax basinigra plus there's a bambusa m. Silverstripe over there somewhere . We had 30 trees removed so far do to the bark Beatle once the logs are gone I'll plant all the vivax basi nigra and huangwenzhu over there. Probably prominens you got me over there as well , looking forward to planting that one

So that very large pot that looks columnar is the Huanwenzhu?

Just down the road from your old place? Make sure to save planting space for stuff you'll get from me, for sure I'm going to have to divide textilis gracilis, mutabilis, oldhamii next spring then the Phy's after them. Can't believe how fast the Bambusa fill up their pots.

Yep it's huge in a 45 gallon tub very hard to move . I'm about a mile down the road from our last place was a 2 bedroom really needed the extra room . I still have a ton to plant but waiting on the rest of the dead trees to come down and will have a bunch of space

I did get bambusa t. Kanapaha planted though it was in a 3 gallon so hopefully it will make it this winter . I may have to protect it this winter though my multiplex varieties had no issues last winter and I'm hoping textilis varieties are close in hardiness
