Thank you. I was that naive to hope that Sasa could be plucked and repotted with what came from pulling...I guess same square foot sod rules applies to Indocalamus, Pseudosasa and Sasaella? Didn't want to end up renting a van, but if they can't survive otherways...needmore wrote:alfred wrote:I'll try that next winter. Maybe in the meantime I'd buy time (and start doing plant relocations) by plucking a few handful stems of dwarf Sasa bamboo and pot them up? They'd be easy to take with whole culms, though digging between them is a mess due to their compactness. Could I try to pluck a few by pulling stems and the roots that'd come with them?needmore wrote:Try to leave at least 2 lower branches when you trim, it can be enough to make a big difference.
Or would they have to be potted in winter too?
Thank you
Don't try to take small pieces of Sasa, they revolt. For them you should try to cut something around a square foot of sod in the midst of them and pot thank hunk. Now is fine for them.
Is there a rough reference for height/diameter and container size? Would a 55 US gal plastic drum planted in the soil work as Moso containment while still allowing it to reach 3-4" culm thickness, given proper watering and fertilizer?
