Starting over again, again
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 12:17 am
I'm now growing bamboo in my 3rd state which means after hitting near mature sizes in 2 states I'm starting over yet again. These photos are not much to look at but I know from growing sub tropical forms in CA that they will size up rapidly so I thought I'd better start getting some 'before' photos. I've been slowly acquiring plants as I cross paths with them and still have a half dozen or so in pots but these are my current in-ground plantings. Several of these were either not ID'd or were clearly mis-Id'd so I'm guessing at a couple and have no idea on a couple.
Photos get bigger if you click on them.
This was a nice size bamboo growing when I bought the place but I sawed, hacked, and pried it out - I believe it was B ventricosa, possibly B vulgaris "Wamin' but I don't think so.
G maxima
N elatus
B chungii
C coronalis
Likely G atroviolacea
S brachycladum 'Sacred Bali'
B hirose
B lako
D asper 'Betung Hitam'
D sikkimensis
B multiplex
B nana
The vendors best guess is G atter
No idea, the vendor said it gets huge 80'+ several inches diameter
No idea, was labelled Sparta bamboo??? New shoots initially were cream striped, then took on a burgundy sun exposure blush and the cream has become hard to see, I'm guessing a form of Gigatochloa but???
