I was taught my entire life on reasons to absolutely not plant bamboo. Years ago I began studying. After my assessment and planting my bamboo ...there are many reasons to plant bamboo. My livestock eat it. I use it for building trellises, stakes, and many other small projects I've completed. My next project is porch railing. I only wish I'd planted it years ago. Here's another kicker...I've yet to discover a single termite in the stakes I pound in the ground for gardening. In the south thats a mega perk. I adore that last philosophy you threw other. Amen to that one.
@@tsquared334 I have both. I think it comes down to lifestyle. If you don't love being outdoors it's probably not for you. However, if you live for the great outdoors it brings a special charm with endless possibilities. I use it so much for projects now. Saves me the hassle and a tone of money. My livestock love it. It doesn't really grow as fast as my needs. I've got an area that I'm trying to leave untouched except for mowing my trails just like i would the grass. It's incredibly charming and the shade it provides feels pretty nice too. I was just mislead in the fact that it isn't manageable. It totally is.
Do you have it growing in with your livestock? Do they self feed or do you harvest and give it to them? I want to grow some for my cows. If they self-feed will they destroy it? Thank you.
My grandad planted 1 bamboo cutting in his backyard in SC in the 1950s. It took over, and he spent the next 30 years trying to keep it in check, swore against it. I wish he'd known then what we know now. He was such a crafty man, and a major DIYer before that was a term. He'd have loved working with it, but at the time, all the neighbors complained, and he felt like he'd ruined his lovely manicured lawn. I'm just trying to plant ours this year, and I wish so much I didn't have to wait years for an abundance of it. I have a trailer load of it right now, and have been doing a million little projects. Once we get our full bamboo forest, I plan on building chicken coops, out buildings and all manner of things with it. Already using it to make a small irrigation system for my plants. God, I cannot wait!
My property in Opihihale had a clump of beautiful “Ebony” or “Black Bamboo” when I showed up. I wanted to start more of it but everybody I talked to insisted that breaking off a chunk of root was the only way to propagate it. Eventually I found a technique for rooting cuttings and tried it with a dozen or so nodes while harvesting some poles for hand rails. It was a long process and I got just under 50% success but now I have clumps of this beautiful species of bamboo reaching for the sky all over my yard! People keep asking to buy starts and poles from me lately so it’s time to propagate more! Mahalo for the great info! Eric
Bamboo is an awesome plant. Iʻve put out a bunch more videos on bamboo. Be sure to check out this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLQJTLk4im5P_Pt_iiiC9QYtP4YSKKgELB
We had to move from our home with 2 acres to a mobile home ina park, they left a filing cabinet minus the drawers, flipped it on its back and planted bamboo in it, it’s awesome! Thank you for your technique, I’ll fill the other “drawers” with bamboo now🙌🏼☀️🙌🏼
@@MelaniaSideWigga that was the idea, ther are two holes at the front of the drawer openings, since it’s laid on it’s back, the holes are at the top, it takes a lot of dirt to fill it up!!!
Wow this is a super easy method of propagating bamboo. I'm going to try it on my girlfriend's patch this week. She's moving soon and there's a beautiful black bamboo patch that I want to get some cuttings off of. Keep spreading the love and knowledge man.
Love your attitude of abundance. Thanks. I’m now going to propagate bamboo following your method hopefully it will work in a cooler temporary environment. I look forward to success :-)
Great informative video as usual, mahalo for the info, and helping spread the word on one of the most diverse plants ! I REALLY feel bamboo could be a staple for Hawaii , if reintroduced informatively such as you are !
My philosophy is take before you give 😁 You don’t get ahead in life by being kind or courteous to others. It’s a cold, dog eat dog world out there folks.
Thank you so much, I am going out to my local woods today where there is plenty of bamboo.. need to seal off an area on my property as it's quite large.
That's ok, I have a few good building types listed out in this blog post www.homesteadinhawaii.com/bamboo-construction-beginner-guide-to-building-with-bamboo/

Love the video straight to the point no going around the bushes thank you for all your information I just got some cuttings planning to plant some bamboo we have created a small pond and I’m planning to put it close by do you think that’s a good idea?
@HomesteadinHawaii if I snipp one long peice into bits and put all in one big pot IL have a small Forrest , I'm germinating plumb seeds and beech seeds at moment in fridge from my plumb tree thanks you I loves learning stuff
Mahalo, I just moved down the panaewa stretch in Hilo, I have some projects in mind but nothing going yet. I'll make an announcement if I ever do do something.
I watched a lot of videos and saw different techniques and this was the best explained so I followed it - and it worked! I have a question though - you put the cutting in the shade while they grow roots and start to shoot up. When should you put them in the sun? One of my shoots is about a foot tall and growing leaves off of it - should I be moving this pot into partial sun or keeping it in the shade?
Awesome! Glad the video ws helpful for you. I would move shoots to partial sun 6 months to a year after planting and then full sun a month or two after that
I love all of your videos on Bamboo and have watched them over and over! Can you tell me what variety of bamboo ws used in this video? Was it a clumping or running bamboo? Thanks again for the inspiration and all of the great content!
My step dad taught me the weening technique. He uses for trees, but ive adapted to alot of different plants. Can use a pot, bucket, plant bag, or just landscape fabric. Things like bamboo i use fabric, wrap 8x11 size fabric loosely to form a pot and zip tie bottom, i use 1:1 bark/wood chips : good dirt for most everything, allows good drainage but retains the moisture. Water religiously, @ 2 weeks chop it free & repot/replant, can do multiple nodes per stalk and has virtually no recovery time. In fact, i swear they have far more vigorous growth like this. My step dad transplants mainly sucker trees on his property, even has a 'nursery', doesn't matter the size of the tree, ae long as you have the equipment to move it lol. Every year he pushes his poor lil tractor a little more. Last time i helped him move 2 poplars about 10" diameter and easily 25 ft tall. When doing trees whether from the ground, or a limb make sure it is supported and make a horizontal notch cut 2/3rds thru as if felling. Make sure cut is centered where your pot will be and insert a 2x4 or something just to shore it up(dont fill the entire notch with wood). Those 25 ft trees are at least 40 feet and very full wnd healthy just 2 yrs later. So glad i got to learn this from him, has come in handy alot. Thanks for your content, enjoy it alot.
Thank you so much! I’m an American Christian Missionary in Taiwan 🇹🇼 & and live in the countryside (😅 just 25 minutes from Taipei City) and am surrounded by lovely bamboo trees. I’ve found a few folks near my USA hometown that have bamboo & will help me get started growing some in my backyard as a decorative privacy fence! I’m so excited to find your propagation ❤ video! Thank you 🙏🏼
I wonder if this would work with a lucky bamboo, mainly with the glass pebble and water planting style. Im not sure how, but i bought a lucky bamboo at my local walmart, and replanted it a 12×12×18 tank with glass pebbles and distilled water and it went from about 10 in to 3 feet in about a year
What's the maximum time gap between cutting the bamboo and planting the cuttings. If i were to transport the cuttings how do I store them in the car so the don't dry out. ? Thanks
A couple of years back, me and a buddy of mine planted some in his backyard, taking we lived in alabama we didn't think it would really grow, but now his backyard is full of bamboo!
Awesome thanks for this! I'm going to get some bamboo today! Question, is a chainsaw really needed for this size bamboo? Although its thick, isn't bamboo relatively easy to cut and a manual prune saw would suffice ?
@@HomesteadinHawaii I just used a sawzall and it worked like a charm on 2-3 inch stalks! Generally, clumping bamboo will still live and propagate if I just stick the cutting in the ground and water the soil and down the stalk right? Also, will it work on stalks that do not have moss and already have branches from the node?
My horticulture friend says this will not work in the US south, that you need a longer growing season. Thoughts on this? I'm ready to start now, July 6, 2022...

No precaution given to the cup you can leave behind from cutting this?

I'll give you two. Makalewena in kona and shipman Beach (haena) on hilo side
Is that clumping bamboo or running bamboo
Clumping
No precaution given to the cup you can leave behind from cutting this? Cut just above the node so that they're no place where water can gather and cause rot that can damage or kill the rhizome itself.
Also, chainsaw leaves very ragged edges prone to infection - you're better off with a sharp manual handsaw
I typically go back and cut right above the nodes with a handsaw. I just love the quickness of a chainsaw
