Looking for P. amabilis (Tonkin Cane)

Post by Bamboo4me »

I decided I should have 1 more Bamboo! (Just one)

I'd like to trade for a fairly large one if anyone has one local. I can drive from Chico, CA to as far south as Fresno and upto Reno, NV.
Look at my list. Only the C. valdiviensis isn't available now.
I'm trying to unload my B. ventricosa 'Kimmei' Large and in the ground. But had a pretty good burn back from the cold. I can't take seeing them get torched by cold. (these need to be in a pot to stress to keep the Budda effect.
Already in pots:
Yashidake- 15g
Ph. Heteroclada(water)15g
Pleioblastus distichus (dwarf)15g
Pleioblastus shibuyanus 'Tsuboi' 5g and 15g
Pleioblastus pygmaeus 'Greenstripe'5 g
Chimonobambusa quadrangularis 20g
Pleioblastus fortunei Dwarf Whitestripe.5 g
Hibanobambusa tranquillans 'Shiroshima'30 gallon
others in pots, but I'll have to go check what they are:
I can dig others but most are shooting or will be in a week or so.
I'll ship if necessary.
40+ varieties; trying to stay close to that until I get them all in the ground. 1 + acre to grow on. 30 in the ground!

Hey there fellow Rocklinite....

I am having a bamboo order delivered April 24 in Rocklin as part of my nursery business. I can see if he has Tonkin. I might pick one up for my own collection. Maybe a trade for the Tonkin or a sale is possible? I have c. quandrangulis, but may be interested in the larger pot. Let me know. Thanks.

I'll trade for a small pot of Tonkin cane. The c. quandrangulis got a little frost damage as it was shooting into the winter, but has way to many rhizomes and needs to be split. I'll go for a small Tonkin as I'm trying to get away from anything that gets burned in the Chico area (Cold part)
You could probably make 4 + nice ones that would grow better than they currently are.
Let me know. I'm going to dig out some of my others in Chico that got a pretty good burn down, but are doing OK. B Ventricosa Kimeii( Had nice Budda's in the pot, but went crazy in the ground. Never burned in Rocklin.
I have more than I know still around the House in Rocklin.
I'm trying to par down my collection to eaters and large Timber. (Hoping to be over 3 or maybe 4" on my Bambusoides this year)
I have a bunch that will be ready later out of my Chico planted stuff also.
PM me if you are looking for anything I have. (Profile)

Hi Madman,

I'm not getting your PM for some reason.
Could you try again, my company gateways might be blocking due to that new worm virus?
