P. aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' -- flowering (I think)
Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2019 7:41 pm
Hello all,
I really hope I am wrong here but I recently special-ordered some Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' plants and I thought some looked really poor and ratty.
After about a week I saw what I suspected were developing seeds... It's been about a month now and when i looked at them closely today I have a really hard time thinking
that this could be anything other than seeds. I hope I am wrong.
Please take a look a the pic and let me know what you think. I really don't want to lose these plants... and I planted them in line with other spectabilis that I have had for years, I also fear some flowering signal spreading to the other plants.
If these are seeds any thoughts on whether cutting off all developing seeds and flower-looking parts might help to save the plants?
Cheers
