pics of new culms
heres a few pics of this years crop of culms,not been a good year so far, many species still not producing culms yet.
Re: pics of new culms
My Phyllostachys Aurea are also slow this year and are only just starting to produce.
Fargesia Simba, Fagesia Vampire and Shiroshima have all produced well though.

My Phyllostachys Aurea seem to have really sped up since I started putting the grass clippings on them like it said to do on gardeners world.GoggleboxUK wrote:My Phyllostachys Aurea are also slow this year and are only just starting to produce.

Re: pics of new culms
Nice to see you back Jacko. Been a slow year for bamboos. No sign of new growth on my shanghai 3 yet. Others are starting to shoot.
Fresh grass will warm up the soil as it decomposes.

Re: pics of new culms
cheers kris,my shanghai 3 is just starting to produce culms,got 3 at the moment.
Re: pics of new culms
Wow, nice jacko!
I'm kind of glad to hear that everyone else's bamboos are behind. I forgot to water some large, potted Phyllostachys over winter and I'm starting to worry that they may be dead.

All my boo's are going mental at present with the exeption of pyllostachy nigra which looks healthy but has done little in over 2 years!!, i'm now convinced this is one boo that does not like semi-shade. karl.
Re: pics of new culms

Re: pics of new culms
I'm still waiting for the shanghai to move.
Anyone got culms bigger than any they've had before?

Re: pics of new culms
Looks exceptional, I can't wait for mine to look like that. Yours are the benchmark.
Re: pics of new culms
wow that vivax culm is bigger than i thought last week.heres the latest pic a week later.
Re: pics of new culms
That's a pretty impressive culm!
I always thought bamboos were expensive because of the time it takes to produce a saleable plant....I now see it's because they produce £2 coins! How long before that nest egg matures?
