Phyllostachys bambusoides ‘castillonis ‘ flowering in uk
A Facebook friend that blogs on plants has his castillon flowering, mine isn’t flowering anyone else have it flowering? It looks to me that it is part flowering and he has had damage to the bamboo by rats, could that be the reason thoughts please https://youtu.be/bWd82aF0sJM

Wow, that would be one of bamboos that I would love to grow from seeds. The bigger the better.

99% will always come out green. There is only a small chance you get a colored variation. But there's always a chance.
