Re: Seeds/Clumping Rhizomes

... around 11 species, close to 300 plants. Most are located on the property line as a privacy/ wind screen. In areas where your choices of clumping bamboo are very limited, how does one acquire new species not available in their area(different country)? Thank you, Andrew

Seeds/Clumping Rhizomes

Re: Black (Phy. Nigra) Bamboo blooming, what to do?

Did they set seeds? Are there only a few viable seeds, and most of the flowers give empty or non-developed seeds?
I have asked a few people here if their Phyllostachys nigras are flowering and they are not. It might be an overture into flowering?

... becoming flowers. Those culms are also quite soft, they should be well lignified by now and are not so they may never finish. It is a fine bamboo, looks to me to belong in the Glauca clan but this guy added size quickly.

Re: Seeds available

... not. I'm sure they are growing it in European countries that are more bamboo friendly. I'm quite certain we have none in my little country. :P I would love to try seeds, though. But if it's stress induced, flowers could abort prematurely or have low ...

Re: Seeds available

ShmuBamboo. Is it possible there were birds eating ripening seeds? I have unimaginable numbers of birds inside my bamboo and they could (would) easily decimate the seeds. Sparrows are the worst. Whole grove is ...

No additional germination of other seeds yet. This one grows quite fast though.
Now you're just showing off :D
No movement from my seeds in their compost with a light misting of water every evening... Starting to lose hope :(

Re: Black (Phy. Nigra) Bamboo blooming, what to do?

Interesting. I’m in Australia and I posted a few months ago about some I’d seen on the roadside here flowering. I wondered if it meant it would flower in other parts of the world. I collected seeds but couldn’t get them to grow. I notice now the entire clump has died.

Re: Bamboo ID ?

Re: Bamboo ID ?

I'd say Phyllostachys pubescens. Do you have a photo of actual seeds you've got? Were they long and thin with pointy end and a grain inside?

If it's not draining too much energy, I would leave it and try to get some seeds, but I am a seedoholic.
