I have a row of Henon and a row of Japanese Timber that are 8 or 9 years old that never upsized like i expected. I couldn't say why.

Nice pics of new shoots. I measured my new moso shoots and indeed thew best ones are at 5 inches diameter this year. It got down to 33 degrees here last night, but more varieties should be coming up soon.

Here's one pic i posted about 5 years ago http://www.bambooweb.info/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6976 It shows new shoots of Phyllostachys vivax aureocaulis and you can see why I'd favor their appearance, plus their leaf color is the darkest green of any of my plants. I also have a similar plant calle...

Today April 10, i have Moso new shoots that measure 5 inches in diameter and I'd guess 25 feet tall. I have a few Japanese Timber Bamboo poking through, but it's still a bit early for new shoots of them. I'm in Zone 7b. Update on my bamboo findings (long time since i posted). I've been growing bambo...

I'm zone 7a and i have Clone X i planted out just to see how they would do. I planted 2 small one gallon pots in the Spring of 2013. They have top killed the past 2 winters and i expect them to again soon. We are having a very mild winter thus far with the lowest temp maybe 28 or so. But we often ge...

I had a patch of saw briers as big around as your thumb and 8 - 10 feet tall. That briar-patch was about 35 feet across and super thick. The goats ...

4 or 5 year old Phyllostachys vivax aureocaulis

Not relevant to your young plants, but i have approx 3 and 4 year old knee-high to shoulder high moso every 10 foot or so, spaced around the border of a 3 acre wooded area. They were started from seed. It's been a milder than usual winter, but we did have a cold snap into single digits. What really ...

Interesting for experiments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXb8rJ8Rm3I

Thanks for your help - now i know

What might this be?

Shipped plants are potted. Just can't tell it from pic. They are sprouts potted 2 months ago, so should be good til Spring.

@foxd - shipped you these 2 plants today. Nice experiment. Let us see some pics next summer

A friends Namwah this time last year in South Arkansas.

8 days afterwards looks like this. Actually, would be wise to hose them off 15 - 30 mins after and you might wash more of it off. We rinsed after in the old days with siding. I didn't rise these. I've read that white vinegar works - haven't tested it. I also read that borax works, it did not work fo...
