After only making 3 shoots in the spring, my Atrovaginata has turned it up in summer now by putting out 6 more shoots, and likely more to come for the season since there's plenty of foliage to support it now. This kind of took me by surprise because it only shot once last year.

My 3 month old mosos are shooting randomly. 15 month old mosos are mostly on their 2nd shooting round, with a couple starting their 3rd which appears to have much larger shoots than any of the previous.

The older moso is putting out approximately a dozen new shoots which are all kind of small.

Rubromarginata seems to be putting up a 2nd wave of shoots with approximately the same size shoots.

Parvifolia is putting out a few smaller than normal size shoots.

Henon gave me 2 more shoots the same size as the spring culms.

F Nitida is finally putting out shoots that are ending up only about 1ft taller than the old ones.

Dulcis, Bissetii, yellow groove and rufa show no signs of secondary shooting.


Only 3 new atrovaginata shoots are visible in this photo, but there are 6 total with almost a guarantee of more to come. It's a great improvement from only 1 shoot last year.

my atrovaginata had 1 shoot this year but was a size up
