Here's a fine specimen of Yushania maling that I would be pleased to trade for a Fargesia "Nymphenburg" second generation(2G), or F. "Juizhaigou" Nos. 2, 4, or 8 . A thing about this Y. maling is that it is water-hungry here in northern Puget Sound. I can deliver; Puget Soundly.

Okay; I got it.

I just clicked a "Bump Topic" button and don't know what happened. Is there a clarification?

Continuing 'Mountainbamboonut's premise ("I know the saying "first year it sleeps, second creeps, and third it leaps" is not a hard and fast rule or a guarantee of any kind.."): The first year it sleeps The second year it creeps The third year it leaps The fourth year you reap or...

What 'dependable' said ("There were several stands in area and they all died to ground. No sign of re seeding. The larger groves that were left alone reestablished themselves...") happened here in the Puget Sound area, during the same time frame.

"...the first year it sleeps,
the second year it creeps,
the third year it leaps,
the fourth year you reap, or
the fifth year you weep"
Such is my sob story.
Helpful?
Or was your question ["What's going on?"] to be
all about the BIG picture?

If they were acting like this at the neighbors, I'd be assembling my legal team!

I want to give some bamboo to anyone who would like to come dig it up and haul it away. There is a large amount for the taking. Here is a list of varieties, here, near Mt. Vernon (98274), that are free for the digging: 1. Bashania fargesii 2. Chimonobambusa tumidissinoda 3. Hibanobambusa tranquillan...

¿Where would I look to find the results of the 2013 AnnualMeeting bamboo auction?

Well, it turns out that I didn't even have the name right; (see: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.25.6026) Maybe this is some sorta Ur-bamboo. WHERE ARE THE FORMS ??!

Part II This is Phyllo. atrovaginata (PH. compacta), the Inscensed Boo. The split happens at 2m±, but the culm has the duplexed sulcus from the ground up. (50mm @ base, but this is compacta so it narrows quickly. The final pic shows that there will be FOUR branch complements at that node. Peace, Gun...

Europeans read this forum too, and they don't hafta live like this.
