Would you take some Bambusa multi. 'Golden Goddess' for a Chimonobambusa quadrangularis? I can dig off as much as I can fit into a box... probably be 3 or 5 gal. If you were local you could take a 15 gal. pot. I just can't ship that size.

Ok, so maybe not golden goddess, but here is the B. tuldoides I dug/cut out for you today :)

WOOOO HOOOOO!

looks like that should take off like crazy. I got the plastic on the greenhouse, so I will pot it and it will live in there for the winter.

your C. quad and the P. humilis will be winging there way south to you monday.

Thanks!

sean,

its one I dont have yet, so I dont mind trading for some...... When he offered the B. tuldoides instead, its one i wanted more, so I told him I would rather have that.

what do I have that you would be interested in?

all the other plants I got from you are doing very well. the only one that looks unhappy with the cold is the Jiuzhaigo (wierd?) it has lost most of its leaves. the Rivereorum, borinda, chusquea, murealea all look great. I have most of them in the ground, and the multiplexes covered with plastic tents. the borinda is next to a large oak for some shelter. I just got the plastic on the greenhouse, so I am going to start moving plants inside this week. we have a couple days forecast to get down to 15f. YUCK!

shoot me over an email..... lost a hard drive on my computer and I lost every email addy I had in my address book.
