Wanted - Pleioblastus viridistriatus
I saw a beautiful planting of this, a patch of golden yellow that brightened up the whole garden around it. If anyone out there has some, I can trade for other groundcover bamboos. I have Pleioblastus shibuyanus Tsuboi or Sasaella masamuneana albostriata for trade. Eric
MY email is bambookingdom@AOL.com

Pl viridistriatus
Gene, I sent you an email. Lets trade!
Mike, I wouldn't mind trying some of the var. chrysophyllus. If I recall correctly, that does not have any stripes like the regular viridistriatus. Which one of the two mentioned would you like?

Chrysophyllus
Well, I went out today to the same nursery where I got the supposed 'Chrysophyllus' this spring. They had a bunch of plants labeled as such but only one was yellow. Also it seemed as tho the yellow one was the only one with furry leaf undersides. Low & behold, viridistriatus is supposed to have soft-textured leaves, so maybe I have a genuine one now. Trouble is it's very small... it might be like splitting the atom.

Mike,
Save the atom, we wouldn't want any unexpected fission destroying the whole garden.
In the spring, before I cut back my ground cover bamboo, I will cut out a small division of the S.m.a. for you anyway. It is getting about as big as the space allows and I will have to start rhizome prunning from now on.
