Soon comes the sage color and then leaf drop in a few weeks...they might even unroll if that snow melts but...

Sorry to hear that man, I feel your pain and do not miss those days for me.

I like the design of that but the cost will stop me from getting one. I love the King O Spades steel shovel, can't use mine out here on solid lava but it is beveled for slicing and strong for prying - IF you are careful to sense the too heavy point on the prying. You can slice and lift/pry good size...

I think that when they are smaller they can be moved but when I've tried to move larger ones they were very unhappy, the last one I moved was large enough that it was difficult for me to lift the rootball but I had been very careful and got most of the roots - that one dropped most of the culms dead...

I think it can take a few degrees of frost but for a commercial investment I wouldn't want to risk one cold snap knocking me off-line for 2-3 years each time.

It'd be great if they can get it going in FL, I am a bit impressed that plants grew to 40' in 12-14 months! Those must have been some new shoots on mature plants.

Could be, they didn't state the species but it looks like a Dendrocalamus and that will not grow very far north in FL I think? Might be fine for deep south FL.

Looks like members only on the post...

This guy was a farmers market buy of a 3 gallon plan around a year ago and it is leaping in size very quickly. A superb bamboo, maybe my favorite of all time, I have another that was a teeny 1 gallon less than a year ago and it is well overhead already. Beautiful foliage, tight clumper with very ver...

I wish I could import bamboo, you must not be able to import genus that are not there already. The Florida source has the best collection I've seen and I would bring in a couple dozen here if could.

Great collection and great project you have, way to use your opportunity for doing this. I didn't see D minor 'Amoenis' or Nastus elatus on your list, nor any Schizostachyum, I am pleased to have all 3 of these, the Nastus in Hawai'i anyway is quite stunning the Sacred Bali here is just amazing. I t...

It sounds like someday many people can thank you for your efforts! In 2005 I imported bamboo from Europe into the US and same as you, bare root, dipped in gel, but mine were in quarantine for 1 year before coming back to me. Now 15 years later I have none of them anymore but hope they are being trad...

Fine here, some wind to hide from on Sunday and about 3 " of rain but over 3 days so really not much in my neighborhood.

Fred did they produce any viable seed? I have S brachycladum and it will flower on an older culm but keep going w/o flowers on most of the other culms and shoot normally at the same time. No viable seed though, only flowers.

Good morning, I can not say that I know the answer correctly but I would think that this is a good time if you do not have cool temperatures, if it is still cool say under 60F then maybe wait until it is warmer. You probably already know this but I would try to have one culm attached to the rhizome,...
