Fargesia rufa for trade
I already contacted Steve but I am just throwing this out again this year. I have a bunch of Fargesia rufa divisions that I am making if you are interested let me know what you have to offer. I am looking mostly for clumping type bamboos that will survive in zone 6 or colder.

Hi. My brother lives in SLC and is wanting to grow bamboo. A clumper would probably be best for him in his small yard.
Do the Fargesias do fine in your climate? What have you found to size up sucessfully? Thannks.

Nate, got lots to trade. My list of possibilities is at http://www.madmanbamboo.com/bamboo_list.html.
Let me know if any sound interesting.
I'm in northern CA so shipping is reasonable.

Fargesia rufa, and nitida have done well where I live the jury is still out with some of the other species as I have yet to see how well they have wintered over and I have some new ones that I will be trying this summer and winter outside. So far Fargesia rufa has done the best but the nitida is also doing well.

RE: Fargesia rufa for trade
I found a very well rooted, maybe root bound fargesia rufa which used up almost all the space inside the pot with culms and shoots at my local gardening center which I bought.
I took out 5 divisions ranging from sizes of 1 culm to 10 with shoots.
How big of a division do I really need for it to be succesful? It appears to be easily dividable.

RE: Fargesia rufa for trade
I have done it from very little but I usually try to get at least 4 shoots. Most of my last rufa divisions were quite a few shoots.
