My bissetii are flowering
My bissetii are flowering (in central PA). Anyone else?
Re: My bissetii are flowering
Not good...
My Bissetii still have not shot this year. I am in Zone 5. I expect new shoots in the 2 weeks. Perhaps by earlier summer I will know if mine will flower. But even if it doesn't flower this year, it's due date is not far.

Hi:
I have three large Ph. bissetii groves, they have all started shooting last week (NJ zone 7). So far no sign of flowering. Out curiosity I did a Google search. It seems that Bissetii does Sporadic flowering, see Table 2 [url]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7180196/[/url] Maybe true, Maybe not. I'll post back it I see flowering. I started the grove from really small division 10+ years ago.
FYI: I was trying to get some more Ph. humilis, but the grower has told me all his potted plants are flowering, the ones I got last year are not showing signs of flowering.

Re: My bissetii are flowering
Is it me, or does it seems like we are having an excessive amount of different bamboos flowering? Seems like it's getting progressively worse.

Re: My bissetii are flowering
Wow, bissetii flowering (and subsequently dying off) would be a big deal for me. My property is surrounded by bamboo for privacy screening, and a lot if it is bissetii. I do have several types bamboo mixed in, so I would not be completely exposed. But the bulk of it is bissetii by virtue of it being the most aggressive grower. Most of the bamboo plantings I have installed commercially have a high percentage of bissetii in them also, altough I usually mixed in some other Phylostachys species as well, partly to avoid complete planting die off.
Of course, bissetii being the trooper of a bamboo that it is, I would not be surprised if it survived flowering, at least to some degree. In some ways, a bissetii die back would be a partial blessing, as it would give some of my other groves a chance to gain back some ground.
I'll post to this thread if any of mine start to flower.
