Wow, that was amazing...I've only owned my Florida home for 4 years, but I've planted 6 varieties so far...to me this totally makes a tropical garden setting, I am amazed at how tall they get...this was a beautiful video on bamboo, thank you !
@Tropical Gardening. I hope that someday you can visit the bamboo groves of East and Southeast Asia! The mature groves of Phyllostachys edulis (Moso Chiku in Japan, Mao Chu in its' native China) are truly one of nature's wonders! Although Arashiyama's famous bamboo forest is of this species, much larger naturalized groves exist in western Japan, and far larger groves exist in China. P. edulis is not only the largest Phyllostachys bamboo in terms of both culm girth and height, it is also second only to the P. nigra cultivars in terms of beautiful branch and leaf structure. Subtropical and tropical East Asia have many clumping giant bamboos, and although the giant Bambusa vulgaris does not rival the much more invasive Phyllostachys bamboos for beauty of branch and leaf patterns, the very popular cultivar 'vittata' has intense yellow, crisply dark green striped culms that retain their color intensity far better over successive years than the yellow culmed forms of Phyllostachys. Most Phyllostachys bamboos, including the beautiful P. aureosulcata 'aureocaulis' shown in your video, are now being banned in an increasing number of states here in the US, because they are rampantly invasive on areas with hot humid summers, even where winter conditions kill them down to the ground in most years. In cool summer areas such as the UK, they are much "better behaved". The yellow culmed form of P. aureosulcata that is most widely grown and sold in the mainland US is 'spectabilis', which has much more pronounced green striping on the yellow culms than 'aureocaulis'. It does not retain the bright culm colors as well as 'aureocaulis', and neither retains culm coloration as well as the frost intolerant B. vulgaris 'vittata' or the subtropical and very tightly clumping B. multiplex 'Alphonse Karr'.
Thank you so much for all the info! I had a P. aureosulcata ' Spectabilis' in my old garden which grew relatively slow (max 8 shoots a year). I love the ' Vittata', I think it's been used often in some indoor tropical greenhouses and butterfly gardens in the Netherlands, it looks very simular.
awesome vid! was the owner there? ive read about this place and would love to know how he gets his vivax aureocaulis to such a huge size in such a small area.
I can"t believe this is in The Netherlands. Absolutely stunning!
