RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
King, I'd love to see how your big divisions of Nuda are going to shoot. so far what you gave is just sitting pretty. no activity. I'm hoping for something. Curious about the nuda. does it make a dense screen?? or is it a thinner type. I'm still undecided exactly where to put it in my yard although i do have a spot that is a bit woodsy and they can go in there.
RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
It makes a nice screen as well as a good walkthrough grove judging from
my visits to the Rutgers gardens. I am also anxious to see the new culms I'll get from my big divisions but am just happy with the few big culms which I have.

RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
New shoots have not begun yet at Rutgers. I did find a very unusual culm and posted it in the bamboo photo section.

RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
that is a strange one. any speculation on the age of that one?? Any idea what might have caused that to happen?? nice pic
RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
I don't know why it has that. It goes all the way up like that. Out of 1000's of culms I looked at today, this one was quite a sight. I still have to go back and look for more "unusual" culms. I only finished about 20% of them...

Dang, that is cool. I like your description:

Never seen anything like that.
I'll stick one of your photos here if you don't mind.One weird culm on Phyllostachys Nuda. Very congested nodes and "Easter Island" look on culm.

RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
Rutgers has been shooting for a few days. The biggest shoot measured over 2 1/4inches.

RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
I figured it was high time. I can almost hear the ground moving. Nice pix you have in the gallery...

RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
Here's another BooKing photo from the gallery

featuring very crinkly blades
I bet if you listen closely in the grove you will hear it growing, leaves shifting on the ground, culm sheaths slipping and dropping. Watch out for Bigfoot.

RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
I spotted him momentarily, then he took off into the deep cover of the grove. I saw Bigfoot chewing on some giant culms.
RE: Rutgers Bamboo Forest
Yea, apparently he wants to be a Linebacker for the JETS.

I kind of figured the Jersey Devil would be more likely to be spotted there.

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.
