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?
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.
Yes boss, gonna be referring to this guide when i move to my own place, probably gonna plant some bamboo
Thanks, appreciated! Please feel free to reach out.
@@GrowTropicalMK sweet as boss, sweet as
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.
Thanks I am glad it was helpful!

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