Brian can you tell us what your mix is? That's great growth given their age!

Thanks, John. I kept them in a small studio with really great southern light and keept the temp at a min of 55 throught the winter. That's why they exploded in one year. The soil was a standard organic potting soil (peat, pumice, loam, compost). I've been blown away with what they've done.

Cheers!

I have family in Lake Oswego near you and I'm in the Columbia Gorge. If you do have any left I'd like to get some from you.

You'd best PM him directly. From the west coast I'd check they are still free of the dreaded bamboo mite which is highly prevalent out there.

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. I have about 50 left that I can let go of. I'll upload some recent pictures to the site but you should contact me directly to discuss an exchange.

Thanks!

Latest and greatest photos of the remaining plants from the two cohorts. There were 20 that exploded and I'm babying - now with 4' shoots and aleady needing repotting from 2 gallon pots. I've sent out 18 huge one gallon pots this year and have 10 I'm holding onto. I've got 60 still in the Anderson band pots that are involved in the test of a propagation system that I designed.

Photos to come...
