Re: Third season Shanghai 3 and Parvifolia

7a should be pretty easy for s3 to handle since it gets no damage in 7b. I think 2016 should already have shoots over 1 inch. My largest S3 went from two 2ft tall culms with the main 1.6 inch diameter field division in 2013 up to 4 culms in the 5-8ft range ...

Re: Is this recommended bamboo application feasible????

... Mine is shooting and new shoots are really getting thicker and thicker. It's around 9 feet tall, perhaps even closing on 10ft already. I'm in 7b (sometimes more like 7a) zone and it's not hardy enough to expect miracles. Despite everything it survived 2 winters outside and it looks it bounces ...

Hokkaido is more of a zone 6a-7b depending on where you are on the island so it is not quite a zone 5 yet so zone 6 may be the limit for mites, but we won't know for sure unless someone tests them in a controlled environment. Mites are just ...
