Dividing and moving Chimonobambusa quadrangularis
I have been able to save an ignored (at the nursery) Chimonobambusa quadrangularis (Square Bamboo). It has been in a 30 gallon pot for 2 years now and I want to divide it and put some in the ground and some into smaller pots. Before I do this, does anyone have any helpful hints, suggestions, or thin...

Re: What's my climatic zone?
With an average low under 15F, I'd estimate a zone 7 or so.
There will be others who may differ.
My average low in Northern California is about 28 and I am zone 9b.
Good luck!

Re: What's my climatic zone?
Average temps aren't enough. What is the average low temp in your area in January?
If your high temps are 70F in July, I think you may not get to 9b,.....but it is the low temp average in January.
Don't let these zones scare you, try what you may think will grow.

Re: Leaf Whiting
Thanks for the reply bepah. Thrips are some sort of insect right? Wouldn't I be able to see them on the plants if that were the problem? Yes, the white areas can be seen on both the top and the bottom of the leaves :(! It is tough to see them unless under a microscope..... I am not an organic garde...

Re: Leaf Whiting
I had a similar look on some palms I got from a friend who lives in San Francisco whre is never got warm. It turned out to be thrips. If the white areas go through the leaf (top and bottom) and eventually turn broen, that's what it may be. If it is, quarantine should be considered, along with treatm...

Re: Why are the leaves on some bamboos getting lighter?
If you are fertilizing and the leaves are still light green, I would suspect a pH problem. I top dress all of my plants with compost, which helps in keeping the pH from going to alkaline and conditioning the soil with micronutrients. I do not trust commerical fertilizers and in the best of all possi...

Re: Can American Farms Make Bamboo the Next Big Cash Crop?
Even supposing that farming is successful, and I hope it is, finding customers for production on a scale that is mentioned will be a true challenge. This is for multiple reasons, most of them are governmental in nature, primarily in building codes. Engineering specs for wood are well documented and ...

Unless you are a personal friend of someone in the administration, it is unlikely you will benefit from this legislation. Write your congressman.
