Good Morning,

I live in Scotland and planted 4 Phyllostachys variety bamboo in February this year.

One of them appears to have completely died, all the leaves have gone yellow. There is a black markings on the bottom of the canes.

The other 3 are still alive but are now starting to develop this black streaking on the base of the plant and the leaves are going yellow in places.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on what might be causing this and how to solve it?

Thank you

Cathal

Potted plants or rhizome divisions?
Could be root rot if they are too wet. Pictures?

Hi,

Here at the pictures! The ground isn't too wet, it's relatively free draining and I'm sure I didn't over water it either..
