BAMBOO my list/your list

Post by John »

Would anyone be interested in listing their have and/or wish lists? I'd like to see who is growing what and where.

I just got started last summer with some hardy ones, and only lost one out of 14. They all spent the winter in containers on the cold porch (glassed-in but unheated). I figure that gives them protection from drying winds and perhaps a zone more comfort?

The hardy ones are the 'running' kind, for the most part, so that's how they ended up planted in containers int he first place. I have added a few less-hardy ones recently, and plan to store them somewhere even more sheltered when temperatures drop.

HAVE LIST:

Phyllostachys glauca 'Yunzhu'
Bambusa multiplex 'Golden Goddess'
Indocalamus tessellatus
Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis'
Sasa kuritensis 'Shimofuri'
Semiarundinaria 'Makinoi'
Semiarundinaria yashadake 'Kimmei'
Semiarundinaria yamadori 'Brimscombe'
Pleioblastus variegata
Pleioblastus distichus 'Dwarf Fern Leaf'
Phyllostachys vivax
Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Yellow Groove'
Pleioblastus pygmaeus 'Pygmy'
Pleioblastus viridistratus 'Dwarf Greenstripe'
Phyllostachys rubromarginata
Phyllostachys pubescens 'Moso' seedling
Bambusa (tuldoides) ventricosa (Buddha Belly)
Sasa veitchii
Phyllostachys heterocalda [water bamboo]
Bambusa Lako [Timor Black]
Dendrocalamus Asper [Betung Hitam]

Lost winter 2005/2006: Phyllostachys nigra 'Hale'
