textillis culm planting

Post by rbkelso »

I came across a 25 foot culm of weavers textillis.I cut about 8 foot off bottom that had no leaves,the rest I cut into approxamitly 4 foot pieces and planted them horizontally in 70 percent shade.I know thew are not supposed to sprout this way with the textillis but I had good luck this way with textillis kanapaha last year.My question is what do I do with the bottom third 2" across with no buds or leaves.

Perhaps a walking stick? Or just hang on to it in case you ever need an 8 foot pole.

If you had some more poles you could make some furniture. Or a trellis.

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.

You mean "one like this one?"
