Oh boy, thankfully none of mine are, I have about 6 stands planted in the ground and 5 pots and none so far are. I'm also located near you in Amador so I hope the old voodoo doesn't spread this way!

I just saw that my Megurochiku is flowering here in Georgia. I hope my plant doesn't die. I put some tarp around the bottom to hopefully catch some seeds when they ripen. Not sure what else to do, but any suggestions are welcome. I got this clone from bamboo garden center in 2011.

It will be interesting to see if henon or bory or nigra also start to flower. I would assume that all of the forms must have originated from a flowering of Phyllostachy nigra 'Henon'?

I did have a bunch of p. aurea that I dug from a guy's home a few years ago all flower though, but I watered through it and about half survived. Is that normal? I just kept watering it and although culms died some new ones came up and some made it (at least for now.) It's my first time doing that so I have no idea if that was right or not.
