Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
I dug two small yunzhu divisions this spring, and planted them directly beside the Kwang. I'm hoping they will flower at similar times and we can make little kwangzhu and yunzhuwang seedlings.

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
Do you want a little Pleio. fortunei division with flowers too? I don't know how extensive it is yet, but for the third spring in a row mine has at least some flowers on it -- they're just barely emerging from the ground.

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
Mine is starting to flower again. Not all branches have flowered.
Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
What's the update on everybody's Ph. glauca 'Yunzhu' flowering? I got very few if any flowers this year.

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
Had a lot of flowers last year but almost no seeds. No culms died off. Found a seedling last spring. Had several large, robust culms this year with no sign of flowering. Seems very happy. Height around 25 ft this year. Very few black spots. Mother plant from Bamboo Garden in Oregon. RGds

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
Mine put up several new culms this year, and some flowers, but no seed. It's a division off freds.

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
As indicated, there were few seeds and they scattered before I could try to gather them. I have one seedling that I found but it is not shippable. Rgds
Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
As I said I had very few flowers last year, but this year it looks like it's going to be loaded. I have some flowers open already, and many more branches that are producing those pointy flower branches. The plant is vigorously shooting though with a pretty decent upsize, so who knows.

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
I'll have to look up to see what mine is doing, I've been looking down mostly as I enjoy bamboo with dark shoots.

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
I was hoping this was a late shooter. Still nothing from mine which I planted in '09. Just one original culm. On the other hand, no flowers either.
Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
What's the latest on 'Yunzhu?' This is one I've been wanting to acquire, but not if it's near the end of its life. Also, how likely is it that offspring would have the patterning of the parent?

Re: Ph. glauca yunzhu flowering
My plants never dropped seeds. It has been a few years since flowering and the grove is still flowering but producing new culms. No die off experienced. I thought the grove had dropped seeds the first year but turned out they were seeds from another species. This is a fine looking species. Rgds
