Needmore it was nice to meet you and thanks for the bamboo. The drive was about 2 hours 20 min from Cincinnati but was a nice drive and I love Nashville, IN great little town. After all the digging I felt that I may have doubled my collection but went from 26 to 42. Sure felt like I dug more than th...

I was wondering about the zoo I might check it out I am leaving 3 am or so tomorrow so I'll have all day Friday.

Next spring I should have some extra but not right now. I would trade. If you don't get a good division by spring contact me I will likely have one.

I am going to be in Cincinnati, Ohio for a few days this weekend and would like to take the kids to see some bamboo in the area they Love Bamboo. Any time I am driving around I look for it but am always upset when I miss a zoo or something that has a lot and I didn't see it while in the area. I will...

Want to do any trades? I live in Central Pa also.

Bamboo garden nursery posted a photo of on facebook of a 6" culm in Washington. That's crazy big. https://scontent-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11150623_10153221813255409_2513576924915360071_n.jpg?oh=18026b841a513254107bd3d4619ef770&oe=55D840BB Wow that is fantastic. I wish I cou...

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.

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.

Some sort of chart with type of boo and then usage type boards, structure (whole poles) etc would be great. I dont have anyinfo on the but will need it in a few years after most of my boos have matured and I am ready to build my kids play house out of boo. I do know from experience that when you har...

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.

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.

This will be a bad year for up sizing but I am sure some of you may still have some up sizing. Tonight I will take a pic of my beast(Phyllostachys glauca 'Yunzhu'). Even after total top kill I have several up sized shoots already 4 feet high or higher. It started shooting 4/29 the large shoot starte...

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...

I found this interesting I want to build one I just need my boo to grow more first. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Jim0dgik--/c_fit,fl_progressive,w_636/b8zlqmuxpwbthzoffj36.jpg Here is the article: http://gizmodo.com/these-bamboo-micro-homes-would-turn-abandoned-buildings-15612...
