- A tour of my 60 year old timber bamboo garden - Is this the nicest bamboo garden in the United States? Tips on upkeep - how to grow bamboo - how to make a barrier to keep the roots out - best way to cut it down.
What you have there is Phyllostachys vivax. I do not think it is Phyllostachys nigra 'Henon' for two reasons. Typically Henon once it is mature, which your bamboo definitely is, the culm color, the blue (gray almost white) waxy coating, is visible as soon as the culm sheaths fall off as the culms are shooting. They do not turn that color with age, if anything they loose there very blue gray-whitish color with time as the wax eventually sloughs off. Also Henon like all nigras have small leaves compared to most other Phyllostachys. In the shot with the drone, and the shot where you are using the reciprocating saw on the dead canes, those leaves are too large for Henon.
Also as you said most mature Henon ranges anywhere from 3 to 4.5 inches. I have seen a few get close to 5 inches but the majority in groves that I have encounter are in that range, at least here in South and North Carolina. An exception to this is the grove in Cherokee, NC, on an island in the middle of a river right by the town hall. Those average over 4 inches easily. It also is not Moso, the easiest way to tell if you have Moso is to feel the new, one year old, culms. If they do not feel like velvet, seriously like velvet, it is not Moso. Also Moso has smaller leaves than Henon. So again this had fairly large leaves, so this would indicate it is not Moso.
So the one bamboo that is easily misidentified with vIvax is Phyllostachys bambusoides, Japanese Timber Bamboo or Madake. Both Phyllostachys vivax and Phyllostachys bambusoides grow to the roughly the same height, have similar culm coloration, the culms age similarly, have similar leaf shape and size, shoot at nearly the same time, and their shoots have a very similar appearance. The one obvious distinguishing feature that one can easily use to distinguish between the two species is the white waxy ring under the node. In vivax the white waxy ring is very prominent on new shoots and will stay prominent for a couple years. Bambusoides is solid green without the prominent white waxy ring under the node.
The reason why people think this is Henon is because of the color of the culms, that blue gray coloration. Like I mentioned earlier, Henon culms start out that way if not more whitish blue, and over time the culms fades a little to more of a green, blue-gray. Both vivax and bambusoides' on the other hand start out green, and over time their culms turn bluish gray. They have almostthe reverse aging characteristics of Henon.
Like you mentioned in the video and others have asked for, the one true way to distinguish between Vivax, Henon and Moso, and to be definitively sure what you have, is to look at the new shoots. Henon has a cinnamon, pinkish-red culm sheath that has tiny hairs covering them. They have stiff vertically erect culm blades, that are are curvy like a kris knife,. Moso has very hairy, again velvety, dark splotchy culm sheaths, that are patterned similar to the spots of a melanistic leopard. Moso has crinkly culm blades, and a mass profusion of long coarse hairs surrounding the blades. Vivax has smooth culm sheaths, no hairs. They're culm sheaths are dark spotted a bit similar to moso, but they have no hairs present on the sheaths. Their sheath blades are also crinkly but loose, long and fall downward toward the ground at the top of the shoot. They are multi-striped and colored from pink to orange to beige and some colors in between which run the lengthwise along the blade. Noe if you notice a tuff of stiff coarse hairs around the base of those culm blades, as opposed to no hairs, then you likely have bambusoides.
Sorry for the long descriptions, but those are some characteristics that can help you determine what type of bamboo you have.
Wow thanks for the expert knowledge! The culm sheaths on my bamboo have no hair present including the the base of the culm sheaths which have no hair... So I must have Vivax?
i was goning to almost type the same thing
Wrote a whole book
Expert knowledge! Thank you for sharing
Wow great response, are you a professor? I need a book or two (for beginners). What do you suggest?
When my parents built a hut for our weekend getaway in the Philippines, they used bamboos gathered from the forest. The hut lasted more than 30 years until recently the family decided to demolish the structure due to a new build project. The giant bamboo posts were still good all these years.
Wow. Amazing
Nipa hut
Do you know what they did to treat the bamboo to keep it nice?
@@newolde1 unfortunately I do not know I was only about 9 that time and oblivious to what the adults were doing.
Too bad gone are the adults who knew how to harvest bamboos in my family.
I also have a Giant bamboo garden I just propagated last year and now have 32 first-year shoots and so excited to see it mature into its full size. You might already know but bamboo grows to its full size in around 60 days and never grows taller but sheds and regrows its leaves every year after. What an amazing plant!
Which varieties of bamboo do you have? Out of curiosity. Any varieties you would recommend?
I'd like to purchase bamboo that is larger than 3" in diameter, would you know anyone that is willing to sell a few trees?
How tall does it grow in 60 days???
@@MaddoxVicRealtor A mature tree will grow to around 50ft in 60 days
Can you keep this thick kind at a certain height? Or will shaving off the tops be a bad thing for it?
What are going to do sell bamboo firewood or giant biodegradable sucking straws?
10 inches a day?! Wow!! Wouldn't it be fun to watch it grow.
Thanks for sharing..
If you can’t watch it, place a tape recorder in a waterproof bag and set it next to the plant. You can literally hear bamboo grow.
bamboo can grow 3ft a day
Build a small hut in between 4 growing shoots and wait to see if it grows up with the bamboo into a sweet treehouse 😂😂
1 you're chipping away $$$$
2 hope you're enjoying delish takenoko. If not sell it to Asian restaurants.
yes maybe i should call some restaurants
Probably Moso. It's a running type depending on where you are located will dictate the ultimate size.
hope you are right as henon is going to seed across the county.
man, did they get everything right? dojo's no nails jointery, bamboo
The gentle rustling sound bamboo makes in a breeze is very soothing.
Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderful video with us all. This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I have never seen something this gorgeous in someone's yard!!!
Thanks so much!
Definitely Moso, it grows 70-80 feet high and one of the best for manufacturing floors furniture etc. I am going to seed them in FL property. Its gorgeous.
Well it's not moso - "Culm sheaths of Phyllostachys edulis are yellow-brown or purple-brown with dark brown spots, and covered with densely brown hairs" my culm sheaths are smooth with no hair - so it's definitely no moso bamboo - I am still trying to figure out what it is!
I also wouldn't wait for the bamboo to die to remove them. Purely for the purpose of looking beautiful, I remove the older culms that are no longer pretty and green. Thinning out the herd (so to speak) also allows for the night lighting to penetrate the grove better. But this is really a personal preference. I prefer to be able to "walk" through a grove.
Thanks
I’ve never actually seen wild watermelon trees, but I’m pretty sure you’ve got watermelon trees and not bamboo at all. Sorry for the bad news.
Good call...
You should be selling the bamboo you are cutting out I see a lot of tiki hut's
If you polish them and add a varnish to it (then cover the bottom with nice polished pebbles), they look great arrange in the bedroom, like a pseudo forest.
Most bamboo is extremely invasive and is not a good idea to plant. Many townships have laws forbidding it and steep fines for having bamboo. It’s really hard to eradicate and will devastate all indigenous species!
a barrier can be put in to protect your land - it's not the Terminator...
I have Vivax, Moso, Madake & Henon in the yard, all about 20 years inground. What you have here looks like Henon to me. Yours is a bit larger in diameter than mine in Metro Atlanta, but bamboo is known to vary somewhat depending on local growing conditions (the Anderson, SC Moso at the Silverbrook Cemetery comes to mind). Somebody mentioned Vivax above, but that would have much thinner culm walls. Your culms dont seem to get split easily and show wind/storm damage. Vivax would have a good amount of split culms in the grove and would look much more unkempt. It would also not get the ghostly grayish-white color after the 2nd year. My money is on Henon being what you have, 98% confidence from video. Oh, and yes, Sawzall is the only way to go with bamboo!
thanks - my bamboo does not have that grey color - is stays more green. - also i have a smaller grove of Henon on my property that looks different - clearly grey vs the bamboo in the video and also smaller diameter . possibly phyllostachys bambusoides??
Bamboo tissue, bamboo paper, and all sort of bamboo pulp products getting more and more popular. Some bamboo grow so fast in just months, compared to trees that requires years or even decades. Bamboo is indeed an amazing plant!
Thanks for the info!
...even cloth made from bamboo. Nice and soft texture.
It's not fair dammit living in the United States we could use that kind of bamboo for so many things
yes I'd like to sell some of it when i cut it down
I have Seabreeze, Hawaiian gold, angel mist, b. Lako, d. Asper betung hitam and dwarf Buddha on my property atm. Young grow (
Absolutely wonderful ~ what an amazing achievement. Love the bamboo! You have put an incredible amount of work into your bamboo garden! Beautiful bamboo.
thanks so much... I enjoy it every day
Absolutely amazing bamboo yard!!!👏 😍
Thanks...
Totally agree with your sawzall comment. Quicker than a hand saw and more access than a chainsaw. Based on your need for a barrier and the escaping rhizome you definitely have a running bamboo. As to species I'd look back through some gardening or horticulture magazines to see what was popular and available in your area back around the time your bamboo was planted. Back then many garden centres didn't appreciate the difference between clumping and running bamboo resulting in a bad rap for bamboo in general when some running species got out of control.
I also have a bamboo garden/farm that my wife and I planted about fifteen years ago with Dentrocalmus Asper and Guadua Angustifolia. We are currently building our house from it. All the best from Panama.
Thanks for the information! Is your bamboo larger than mine?
Thanks for the info on the different types of bamboo. Ppl always say its invasive, but I want a barrier of it anyway, so your info helped.
@@growproteas1148Hey there don't know why I didn't see your reply earlier. To answer your question, our Guadua is a little smaller in general but our Asper is quite a bit bigger with diameters over eight inches at the base and heights over sixty feet. Both are species are still maturing so there's likely more to come.
@@jimhood1202 thanks
It’s ok… Definitely not the most beautiful timber bamboo garden there is… It doesn’t seem like it is doing anything for you. What do you do with it? Do you just look at it and walk around trying to shake it? Sounds like as much of a waste and time sink as an unused lawn in the suburbs… Are you eating the shoots, crafting with the canes, selling the canes or shoots, building anything with it? It doesn’t sound like you are doing anything with it other than looking at it… Fruit trees and flowers might be a much better use for that space. Honestly, it all seems like nothing more than a fools errand.
wow you are so negative - i guess you are unable to appreciate beauty - to each his own - why buy a nice looking car if you can buy a cheaper boring looking car?
@@spiritseeker2831 thanks!
Working in nature is very rewarding plus it's exercise. I guess they could be watching UA-cam videos all day and making negative comments with their time.
Some don’t see commercial value. This land owner is one of them. That is the great thing about him.
Really like your channel...in Bali we have many kind of bamboo that we can make to built a house ( bamboo house ) , art , rope , fence , flute and any kind of music tools and food
wonderful!!!
@JohnDoe-gi1vr in Bali we use kind bamboo of Dendrocalamus asper ,Gigantochloa apus (in latin name )
Night lighting in the grove is magnificent!
Thanks!
Greetings from Fiji 🇫🇯 if you are able to collect cow manure spread it between your bamboo... you may easily get to five inches and even 7 inches. Here in the paddocks with bamboo and where cows lie and dump, bamboo are eight inches to a foot in diameter.
thanks for the tip - i will give it a try
Such a cool plant. I was working over in SC years ago and happened across some of that monster bamboo. Had to be close to 6 inches. Can't for the life of me remember where it was at. About 25 years ago I guess?
Great video! Your garden looks awesome, so different to most. I've considering a bamboo garden in our new build. Early days! A lot more investigation required, but a good start, thank you.
good luck - bamboo can be a beautiful plant!

Bamboo is a grass
du hast eine schöne Frau 🥰🥰😍😍😍
I want the bamboo shoot
It’s “tilt” upwards.
Crazy looking !!! How do they hold up to wind ??
No problem in the wind..
What type of bamboo is this....interested in planting it but no seeds...i am a bamboo lover and am trying to plant it with 8 ha....Where can you get this type of bamboo?
Phyllostachys vivax it turns out - i have some growing in pots now
My goal is to start a bamboo garden in order to sustainably supply my future homestead with building material! It makes more sense than planting trees and waiting decades for it to grow to size.. bamboo is amazing and so regenerative! I hope to one day make a chicken coop from bamboo!
yes it grows so fast - you will do well...
Plant large and smaller diameter bamboos. Different sizes often needed for projects.
So beautiful. There are many uses of the bamboo, here in the States you can cut it to a 8ft long and split them to make furniture, garden trellis, or fence, much stronger than pine wooden fence and last longer, too. Also, you can eat young shoot or make them sour bamboo shoot for year long sweet and sour soup.
Thanks!
Have you ever thought about cutting some of it down to make some awesome Asian style furniture?? It’s so versatile and there’s some REALLY cool tutorials on how to make pieces that fit right into each other without a ton of nails or really anything extra!
Great video!
thanks - yes i have - but woodworking is not something I'm good at...
This sounds interesting. Could you possibly share some recommendations of channels where they demonstrate how to make such furniture?
For those living in the States, please be aware that bamboo is highly invasive and may be illegal in your state
meh, hearing the facts about its benefit on the air, seems like a good invasion to me
you control that by putting bamboo shield around where you would like them to grow only since the root system do not go that deep into the soil.
So is taxes
@@floydbarbour8406 point
You should try some Bambusa oldhamii or Lako or Dendrocalamus varieties. They are clumping bamboo which also get really tall but have a small footprint. I would like to have your climate haha
I want to try to oldhamiii. I'm in South Georgia (near Florida border). Do you think it would work here?
@@billsmith7673 I believe it handles down to -5°C if I remember right.
@@billsmith7673 I live in North Central Florida and have 20 varieties of bamboo including Oldhamii and Hirose (very similar to Oldhamii). I know Oldhamii will grow there but if it gets below 20 degrees it’s going to take damage. The Oldhamii at Kanapaha gardens Gainesville Florida has been killed to the ground in the past and has grown back.
@@TheChenny73 Thank you. Not familiar with Hirose. Going to look into that. I want a big clumping bamboo. If you're familiar with some other than Oldhamii or Hirose that might work in my area, let me know; otherwise, thanks again.
I love the landscape lights in the grove. When you measure caliper, it’s supposed to be at the bottom of the stem. I have a yellow groove bamboo (Phyllostachys aureosulcata) at my parents house that is rhizome pruned to a 5’ clump, and I planted an incense bamboo at my house where I can give it more space. I live in zone 6a, my winter temps can get as low as -5°F on average. We’ll see how thick my bamboo will get in time!
Thanks! Good luck with your bamboo... Temps here never lower than 25 degrees
Your bamboo looks like Phyllostachys Nigra 'Henon' (giant gray). I put out one plant of this in 2014 and the area has spread to about 100 feet across with the largest bamboo at about 2.5 inches in diameter. I live in central Kentucky where this giant gray bamboo is supposed to reach a diameter of about 4 inches. It is said to max at around 6 inches in warmer climates. The new growth is green color, but begins to gray in 1 to 2 years. Does this sound like your bamboo?
Sorry it turned out to be vivax bamboo - I also have Henon on the property and it looks more grey and much different
I live in Kentucky as well and just bought a Henon Gray. Do you have any regrets or a different species you would recommend?
Great all-comprehensive video. Please state where this is: you only mention that it doesn't get lower than 30° there. Searching for how to grow beautiful harvestable bamboo like yours in the Midwest.
Thanks! Sacramento California
Now you need a panda
I don’t want to risk an invasive species getting loose in my home, but bamboo is just so cool and useful, I would really like to cultivate some.
2-3 foot barrier is all you need to confine it -
@@growproteas1148 what kind of barrier do you need? Does it need to go underground or would a wall be sufficient?
@@Moonbeams0 needs to go under ground 2-3 feet - they sell plastic which works well
Hi can you send some rizomes to help to save the planet? I just have a some 5 meter tall canes in the property and those bamboos are incredible!
That truely is a treasure
That looks super. One plant done well . Good gardening.
More likely Phyllostachys bambusoides as the leaves are too large for Moso.
Love it. My dream residence is small lil place surrounded by Bamboo.
I love it every day..
Even the sound of wind thru it👍😎
I have a lot of bamboo in my farm. Its the thick variety and very sturdy. I eat the bamboo shoots but im too lazy to process the big bamboos as they are too heavy.
Thailand want a lot of Bamboo Giant, price depend on quality and size
Essa pequena floresta tem uma atmosfera maravilhosa!🥰👏💖
thanks!!!
can we get more of these bamboo garden videos?
Lots of usefulness you can make from that bamboo.
When you see those bamboo shoots sticking out about a foot or two foot high, cut them off and clean them off of dirts and bacteria and debris. Peels them off till you get to the soft edible part. Chops them into slices or shredded mini French fries sizes. Pour them onto the frying pan with some ingredients for cooking. Once they're well cooked and ready for serving. They're very tasty 😋. Some bamboo shoots require to be put in jar for a couple days to get soften before cooking.
Thanks
I want my yard to look like yours!!!!!!!!🙏
Thanks!
Janine be fine AF.
it is phyllostachys edulis
Well it's not moso - "Culm sheaths of Phyllostachys edulis are yellow-brown or purple-brown with dark brown spots, and covered with densely brown hairs" my culm sheaths are smooth with no hair - so it's definitely no moso bamboo - I am told Vivax is likely.
10 inches a day. Crikey. I've lived a life time and not reached that.
It's sending up new plants currently... 10 inches a day!
yes yes yes BUT WHERE IS THIS BEING FILMED????
Why don't you harvest some and sell them.👍👍👍
I've been growing my bamboo for about 3 years. Now, I wish I had a larger property so that I could really let it run. I have 2 small groves of phyllostachys nigra, a section of phyllostachys decora, some bambusa multiplex Alphose Karr, Nepalese Blue, and I just planted some oldhamii.
Congratulations on all the different species
That was magic good on both of you,,,
Plant bamboo for your friend plant trees save the earth
in spring, the fresh and small bamboo root can be eaten.
I agree too, its Vivax. Moso has tiny leaves, not Moso.
when I was in NC, Hennon in a mature stand had a pyramid shape like pines from far. they looked alot more grey then that, The Vivax's I've seen there was shaped similar but the top droops from being heavy with leaves. I could be wrong and I'm no expert, I just love the plant.
Thanks for the opinion... vivax seems likely...
You should sell the cut bamboo pieces to a local marcet.
I wants to orders like 4_8yars togeters do not cut it's ok?
I know what kind of bamboo that is…
THE KIND I WANT! Lol
The only BAMBOO I can get my hands on that is alive is out of Kroger’s and they all are the size of a straw I want some giant bamboo I want some giant alive bamboo I don’t think I can grow any from seeds because I suck at greenery but I would love to have some of that.
It is Phyllostachys vivax - i see it for sale at some bamboo nurseries
Just started the Bamboo. Needed the research info. Thank you to you and your wife. Good job.
Thanks... good luck with ur bamboo
The video would be more helpful if you disclosed where it is. Bamboo will freeze of course, so presumably you are in southern Florida or possibly Hawaii or southern California.
Viewers should know that for bamboo to be used in construction it must be cured and treated to resist termites as well as fungal infestations, mold and rot. In construction it cannot com in contact with the ground or it will rot, so poles must be set in concrete footings or the like. So, fencing is impractical.
Your bamboo actually looks a bit like guadua, (guadua angustifolia) a type of Giant bamboo used for construction and grown chiefly in Colombia, although plantations are sprouting up in the Philippines, Indonesia and Africa. It is used in construction for low-cost housing as well as for resorts. Guadua is a thorny species of bamboo, however, and yours shows no thorns. You can see more about guadua and bamboo construction simply by googling it.
I'm in sacramento ca - I does freeze here in the winter occasionally - down to 26. Turns out to be Vivax bamboo
It is beautiful. I have had several varieties of bamboo and it is amazing how fast they grow. The bamboo featured in this video, did it grow with all the leaves at the very top? All my varieties I have had to cut sprouts to keep leaves and branches above the head.
yes all the leaves are at the top of the plant
❤❤❤❤❣🎍🎍🎍🎍
Dang, this should be an ad for the pruning blade. Bamboo is very hard to cut yet alone relatively cleanly and quickly.
thanks!
Gorgeous!!!!! I'm super jealous of this garden/forest!
Thanks... I really cherish it...
@@growproteas1148 That's great!!! I'm glad you are enjoying it!!!!
pretty sure it is Phyllostachys vivax
Very nice, what kind of bamboo is it?
challange accepted
Wow, that bamboo garden is AMAZING. I just started my bamboo garden last year. I'm excited to see it progress, I keep going out to check for new sprouts....lol.
Good... it grows like a weed... soon you will have plenty
Good vaery good
I have doubts that a 24 inch deep barrier will be deep enough. Bamboo headquarters in So, Cal always recommended a 3 foot rhysome barrier. I had bambusa oldhami (giant timber) that was over 30 ft tall. It is a clumping variety. I would never again use bamboo in my yard without buying a good powerful wood chipper. Looks like you got a good one. I'm now living in Northern Portugal with a nice large property that is completely barren. It was farmed for 30 years. I want to creat a peaceful decorative art garden. I can't imagine "not" using bamboo.
Thanks! After digging up many, many roots I only found one lower than 24 inches - the majority don't want to go that deep as the soil gets harder to penetrate - take more energy...
Could bamboo be the solution to stop the spread of kudzu in the SE US?
Fight one invasive plant with another?
Bamboo certainly has more uses in construction, flooring and exterior siding.
kudzu might grow on it?
In 2022 by April 01 we had over 12" of rain and I had over 30 new shoots.
2023 is zeros.
I don't get new shoots till may..
Monocotyledons basically a grass….
OK Looks like yall are raising wild bamboo. Like thoroughbreds vs mustangs, they respond to wide open spaces differently.
Many gardens ( Huntington here) also have various ( clump or run) small diameter varieties in small garden spaces. These often have OPEN spaces between clums.
Also. in Japan they routinely have OPEN spaces between the culms (canes), not growing tightly together like a Don King Hairdo. They have hardscape cement or stone barriers. . You can "walk" or see through the grove.
I really appreciated the tip on the Saws-all. Some professional Gardeners here in California don't want us to NOT cut or open the clump or growth area. They say either it weakens the plant or makes the bamboo "jump" the barrier. Sounds a bit weird.
More tips on cutting the clums how much space to leave and does this mean we need to fertilize. Also Have you sold or used the big diameter material for building?
I don't fertilize as these are mature plants and the grove is doing well - turns out I have Phyllostachys vivax growing - I made a fence out of some of the bamboo - looks awesome
please anyone help me its seed i am from nepal i want to farming in nepal
guada
Very beauty bamboo garden. Congratulations from Brasil.
thanks!
PLEASE DON'T PLANT BAMBOO YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR PROPERTY AND IT WILL SPREAD TO A neighbors yard. It is so aggressive and it will cost a fortune to remove the roots are impossible to kill and will keep popping up. People like this guy are irresponsible for not telling people the truth about this invasive horrible plant
sorry to tell you but a 3 foot barrier keeps the roots confined - no issues here - has not grown into my lawn or anywhere else - barrier is all you need - this plant is not a nuclear weapon - I do mention the barrier in the video -so clearly you did not watch it... best wishes
You should get in touch with a timber company. Lots of woodworking projects go great with bamboo. They might be able to help you manage it, even pay you for the timber.
thanks!
THATS VIRETIES OF BAMBOO IS CALDE IRON BAMBOO.
Bamboo might be a good candidate for biochar production. One method I've seen on UA-cam involves using a 50-gallon barrel with a smaller barrel inside, which is filled with some kind of wood, could be bamboo, and has a loosely fitting lid. This inner barrel must be sealed enough to restrict oxygen but allow for the escape of gases. Wood is also placed around this inner barrel to serve as fuel. Burning the external wood raises the temperature inside the inner barrel, facilitating pyrolysis. The resulting product should emit a tinny sound when struck and contain no ash. To convert this product into biochar, it is inoculated with minerals and other nutrients. It will be hydrophobic to start with.
thanks for the info!
I would love to grow this bamboo in Norway. I have so many projects to do where i could utilize it.
might be too cold in Norway
Where are you located? Did you ever determine what species your bamboo is? I'd like to grow it, but the containment requirements seem more than I'm willing to commit.
sacramento ca - turns out to be Phyllostachys vivax
Beautiful Bamboo and a great video
May I please ask where you located?
thanks! Sacramento CA
Very pretty, that would make wonderful pictures.
Thanks!
@growproteas hello…your bamboo is beautiful !! I was hoping you could give me some advise. I have about an 1.5 acres that’s cleared and I’m wondering, if I plant a grove of moso in the middle of that, will I be able to control it by knocking the shoots down with a sledgehammer or mower in spring on the first days they appear? I’d love to have about a 50’x50’ grove if I can maintain it that way without laying a barrier, or digging a trench. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful garden with us !! 🙏
If you want to go that way - you let the bamboo grow - then cut it down before any leaves appear - the roots used a lot of energy to grow the plant and now lost all the energy - I think the bamboo will have a hard time growing beyond the area -
