    A really informative watch, thank you very much! I hope to get involved with bamboo someday and will refer to this video in the future.

    Cool video. I just divided my Phyllostachys edulis - was planning to keep it in the ground but I've been reading some horror stories about it being as troublesome as Japanese knotweed, so I think pots are the way to go.

      Thanks. Yes pots are the way to go for a while, but they need to be upgraded in size otherwise the bamboo drains all the nutrients given time. I am only going to plant clumping in the ground from now on.

    Great video, very informative, I like the look of the pleioblastus one, interesting variegation. I’m just about to dig up a large section of a fargesia bamboo to relocate to another spot and I’m not looking forward to. They have a tendency to grow huge in my garden, it’s got to be all the rain 😊

      Thanks much appreciated. Thr pleioblastus is a funny one and have identified that it really doesn't like a sunny spot and does better in the shade. I have loads of fargesia, but unfortunately, hardly any in the ground. What sort of heights does your get to?

      @@GrowTropicalMK At a guess I would say easily 12 to 15 ft, thankfully not a runner.

      Nice I would like to get a few different varieties in the ground, but will not be planting any more runners that for sure! My golden bamboo is roughly the same height.
