Your team did a great job installing and planting my bamboo in a redwood conainer. Do you have seperate video for the harvest and replanting for a redwood contanier. Do I need to cut the plastic at the permiter ?
@@bamboosourcery I just grabbed some bamboo starts from my sons yard and wondered if I could plant the starts in my 25 lb heavy duty plant container bags for the first couple of years then move them to something more substantial at a later date. Also, thank you for this video!!! I really learned a lot and am about to subscribe!!!! 💜💜💜
I’m no expert here, but I am thinking that based on the plethora of videos I have now consumed on the subject and the info I’ve seen in them, that if you keep your roots tidy and short they will probably always be fine in stock pots, but as they continue to grow the roots become as long as the bamboo is tall so you may want to take them out on occasion, and either divide them up or just keep on those roots because they will eventually break through unless the pots are sturdy enough to withstand that type of growth. I also noticed, yesterday, when I divided up some of my sons literal forest in his backyard, that those roots are also as thick as the bamboo it’s self, so you will definitely need a saw to get through them and make sure the rhizomes are still healthy and whole. Hope this helped some. Happy gardening!!!
planted my bamboo in giant bottom less containers,since the rhizomes are surface growers gave them enough space to spread and 15 years later I do not need to do this process,I harvest with ease and the regrowth is perfect,
Great video! What happens if you were to just leave the bamboo in the container and not transfer any stalks to a new one? Like, will the bamboo die if I just leave it in its original container like the ones you have, or will it simply not grow any larger? ( You mentioned something about leaves falling, but I wasn't sure if that was permanent or why exactly.) I would like to try this on my property, but would like them to remain in their original containers basically "forever" so as I age it's easier for myself and my family to maintain. (I grow all of my garden plants in containers because it's much easier for me, but bamboo is a bit intimidating to try though I always wanted to)
If you never maintain them by splitting the roots when they fill in, the bamboo will get rootbound. When it gets rootbound, it won't be able to take up any water or nutrients through its roots. It will starve. Then it might even stress flower. Then it will die.
I just planted a dozen bamboo in galvanized stock tanks. I went with the forty gallon, 1 foot depth which fit better in my truck from Tractor Supply. 4 foot by 2 foot by 1 foot. It looks like you have 100 gallon stock tanks here. 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot depth. I drilled holes in the base about 1/2 inch diameter. I used some stones and cloth on the bottom. I can always drill more holed around the bottom of the sides I'll need to consider drilling more holes. I also put the pots on dollies so I can wheel them around! I hope they grow into the 15 foot beauties you have there. Do you suggest adding fertilizer?
Cool! Yes, it's great that you drilled extra holes in the tanks. We recommend quarterly fertilizer. This is the one we like: www.groworganic.com/products/bio-turf-8-3-5-fertilizer-25-lb-bag
Thank you so much for an other beatifull video about bamboo and roots 🤩 , just a question , last summer i bought a similar bamboo of 3 years old (phylo aureo sulcata) that i planted last september , no it seems having a new shoot near the mother one ,do you think i can have more during this spring /summer ? thanks in advance
So finally a had more than 15 new thick shoots with many various other little shoots, i'm so glad and very happy that my bamboo is making roots and took place in my garden 😍
Question about drainage in the tank. Tanks have usually 1 drain opening aprox 3/4 or 1in..... I saw you lined the bottom with 3/4 stone...... How deep was the stone? Were more drain holes cut thru the tank? That would mess up the galvanizing and cause them to rust fast. Enjoyed the Vid.
We add drainage holes all around, 3/4", 1.5' apart, all around the bottom of the sides. We put a few inches of drain rock as well. We don't see much rusting.
I'm about to become a bambooster myself. I just got a container and am bamboo shopping. What kind of bamboo is this? I really like the kind with the green stripes.
They are Spectabilis. bamboosourcery.com/product/phyllostachys-aureosulcata-spectabilis-phas/ We get them from a feed supply store. They are 2' tall x 2' wide x 6' long.
Thank you for making this video and for uploading your zoom presentation. I have not been able to find a raised bed with a bottom. What would you suggest to put at the bottom so the roots don't escape? Would a layer on the ground below the rocks of tree barrier be sufficient?
Thank you for responding. For some reason I can hear it now.... I know it wasn't my volume because I was able to watch other channels before and after.... Probably just a mishap.., thank you again. ..

Hello Mr Joe i love your channel i love bamboo me to.
Thanks for making this video. I just planted bamboo in stock tanks and wondered what I'd need to do in 7 or 8 years
That's awesome!... so glad it was helpful!

At least the roots are shallow … but they’re work when one is trying to cut through them, thus the saw. 😉

Best guide to runners, would some details may be different for clumpers?
The clumpers wouldn't have the roots running around the edges, but they'd still be dug out the same way.
super film, dzięki!
Thank you! We're glad you love it!

Yo if I drill holes won't the roots get out
Hey - I want to do the same thing you did. How’d it turn out for you?
So far mine haven't but they're less than a year old. @@David-wc5wr
@MattPaiton Year 1.5 and they're 10ft going strong

Yes, they only shoot during the spring, so you should see some new growth then.
@@avrahax7714 That's great to hear! 🤩

I'm about to become a bambooster myself. I just got a container and am bamboo shopping. What kind of bamboo is this? I really like the kind with the green stripes.
One thing I didn't understand is that if it's been for the last 8-10 years, how is the container still mirror shiny ? 🤔
Thank you
You're welcome. 😊
How are these dense rootsystems for burning? Assumung they are dried for a while. They probably have a decent burn value?
Yes. We actually make bamboo biochar out of them.
Hello, i have a question with regards to the blade you use, what kind? Specific coating? Thx
12 inch 5 teeth per inch pruning blade. We use Diablo brand. Cheap blades tend to not last long.
Thank you for an awesome video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
What type of bamboo isit?
bamboosourcery.com/product/phyllostachys-aureosulcata-spectabilis-phas/
Question, I live in nova scotia, Canada, and I'm wondering what clumping bamboo has the largest canes that can be planted outside here?
You could try this: bamboosourcery.com/bamboo-search/
where can I get a planter like the ones you are using?
a feed store or tractor supply store
Home Depo has them now and cheaper.
Are these golden bamboos? Also, where did you get the Galvanized Trough Planters from and the dimensions? Thanks!
They are Spectabilis. bamboosourcery.com/product/phyllostachys-aureosulcata-spectabilis-phas/
We get them from a feed supply store.
They are 2' tall x 2' wide x 6' long.
What type of tank did u use ??
So beautiful
Thanks! 😍
How often do you water in spring?
what gallon trough do you use in this video?
It is a 2x2x6 tank; holds 169 gallons.
Which are quicker to grow, Buds or shoots?
Thank you for making this video and for uploading your zoom presentation. I have not been able to find a raised bed with a bottom. What would you suggest to put at the bottom so the roots don't escape? Would a layer on the ground below the rocks of tree barrier be sufficient?
Probably not, since you do need drainage. We recommend clumpers in raised beds or boxes without bottoms.
Can you please do a video on the stake you created to keep your plants supported in the event of strong winds. Thank you kindly!
You just hammer some metal stakes in the container (we used u-channel sign posts) and then tie a support beam across.
Need drainage hole ?
Yes, most certainly. Around the bottom (not base), 3/4" in diameter, 1.5 ft. apart.

Glad to hear you got it figured it.
I love how insecure people ask technical questions instead of instructing in order to try to feel superior.
That is not the right method for running bamboo. You end up multiple plant in each chunk
