    I bought my first bamboo over 20 years ago from Bamboo Sourcery and it fills me with joy every single day. 20 x 365 = a lot of days.
    P.S. Joe, I just realized you are the Mr. Rogers of bamboo.

    I got a pot full of bamboo that someone put in the garbage.
    I re-potted it in a tub that I put in the ground. Two years later a cane shot up 6 feet away!
    I didn't know it was running bamboo. I'm glad.

      It varies greatly depending on the species, time of the root division, size of the root division, care, and quality of soil.

    Great video. I've recently just done this with bamboo nigra (Phyllostachys) however the weather changed to frosty -3 degree. Will this kill the rhyzomes?

    • @bamboosourcery
      @bamboosourcery  3 месяца назад

      It shouldn't... but also keep in mind that Black Bamboo is flowering gregariously worldwide.

    • @LT-is3kv
      @LT-is3kv 3 месяца назад

      @bamboosourcery Thanks! Sorry what effect does flowering have? Also i should explain, when I received a shipment of root bound bamboo I unravelled and cut off the rhizomes strips and planted them ...and then the frost kicked in. Do you think they'll be OK?

  • @richwilliams1943
    @richwilliams1943 Год назад

    i am interested in starting some indoors in an aquaponic system. i have a few plants outdoors. i wanted to wait until after the plants send up all their shoots and then dig up the rhizome and take them directly into an aquaponic system. i am moving in november and i have no plans to leave them behind. i plan to put them in the ground for zone 8 winter(2023). does this plan sound reasonable to you? is there any advice you might suggest? thanks in advance

    • @bamboosourcery

    My bamboo is still growing too tall, too fast (golden green strip vivax.)
    I've propegated a few dozen cuts over the past 2 years or so, and my biggest issue is the new shoots coming up from the ground grow too fast. My recent just popped their nubs out 2 weeks ago. They're now around 12ft-14ft and about 2 to 3 inches diameter at the base. But they're extremely fragile and a decent thunderstorm, and they snap them and make them 4 ft or so. When that happens, the base stops growing in diameter, and it just stays that height (4ft or so).
    I'm not giving anything to them, just water and an occasional 💩 from my dog lol.
    Should I start cutting them around 6ft-7ft and hope they strengthen up faster?
    (I have the same problem with full-size new bamboo, but it makes it to 15ft-20ft before they break off in a storm. They can be up to 8in in diameter at theire base,but thry remain fragile for around 2 months.
    I'm not certain, but I assume they're growing too fast. A foot a day on average (which I've read is a lot fast than new shoots normally grow.
    Thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

    • @bamboosourcery
      @bamboosourcery  9 месяцев назад +1

      No, you can't cut shoots. They will die. They do grow fast, and they're fragile... just the nature of the beast.

    Hi I am in SW France and have just brought a property with 60 ft high Bamboo. I am in the process of trying to eradicate it completely as it is out of control in my very sandy soil.
    Will it die if I just cut it all down close to the ground or do I need to dig up all the rhizomes? Thanks.

    • @bamboosourcery
      @bamboosourcery  Год назад

      You need to remove the rhizomes as well.

    • @richwilliams1943
      @richwilliams1943 Год назад +3

      you can cut them down without digging up the rhizomes, but they will send up new shoots the next spring. break those off as they shoot up in spring and no more will shoot up after spring. the rhizomes may produce for a few years in spring only but if you repeat this process, the rhizomes will die underground without the ability to photosynthesize

  • @ravenoakfarm
    @ravenoakfarm Год назад +1

    How long does it take to germinate and how long before you have a bush to plant?

    • @bamboosourcery
      @bamboosourcery  Год назад

      It will germinate in the spring when the weather warms up (March, April, May).

      It's not the only way. You can also divide plants.

  • @jkreviea
    @jkreviea 2 года назад +1

      I'm here In Florida. I Purchased Leptomorph (known as running) bamboo from a nursery. I wasn't able to find any laws on bamboo although there was talk about this being changed during 2008. If you can find any laws on this let me know because you're freaking me out a bit 😆 🤣
