Re: looking for shanghai 3

Re: Why is Moso so hard to grow large?

Re: comparing Phyllostachys species for edible shoots
When is a good time to get shoots ? The first day or two after shooting? Less than a foot in height? If you can prepare them right away should they soak in water in the fridge or can sit on the counter for a few days? And thanks for the link dependable.

Re: what are options for marking culms to keep track of age?
I got a date stamp and archival ink. I stamp each one that year away from the Sun so it last longer. Seems to work well except very small culms. So far they have lasted several years and the date is still on the culms I cut and dried.

Re: comparing Phyllostachys species for edible shoots
I am also interested in harvesting shoots soon but really have no idea what is good and if they are all safe etc. Thank you for posting the topic this will be useful info. I did try Aureosulcata also and thought it was good also.

Re: My Golden Bamboo growth over the years (Phyllostachys Au
Thank you for this post. It was an interesting read and great pictures. Too bad you don't have a great place to grow many boos as I'm sure your yard would look great.

Another bamboo invasion OH NOOS
Why does it seem like no one knows how to care for Bamboo. I blame this on both customers just buying anything a store has to sell them and big box store that have no real info on any of the products they sell. This is a huge issue I have with big box stores know one knows anything about most of the...
