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.
Bamboo is so useful. It gets a bad rap
@@HomesteadinHawaii gonna start growing it in my apartment. I think i can harvest a cutting from bamboo i know grows nearby
@@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
Really all you need to do for most species is take a node section and fill the top with water and watch it sprout!
BIG MAHALOS,,,JUST DISCOVERING BAMBOO ...AND LOVE YOU SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE...ALOHA FROM THE BIG ISLAND...😎
Bamboo is an awesome plant. Iʻve put out a bunch more videos on bamboo. Be sure to check out this playlist
ua-cam.com/play/PLQJTLk4im5P_Pt_iiiC9QYtP4YSKKgELB.html
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🙌🏼☀️🙌🏼
Perfect!
That sounds like a great solution for containing the rhizomes of creeping Bamboo.
And not a bad way to recycle.
@@archlab007 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!!!
"Before we take, we give" Thank you brother.
Words to live by
Another great video! Your gleaming smile says it all! Thank you, you rock!
No. You Rock!! Thanks for watching.
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 :-)
Good luck! And remember, whenever we have abundance it makes me want to do a bun dance😂
Black Bamboo looks very cool growing...
Yeah. One of my favs. Wish I had more room
wow thank you for sharing. I thought you had to dig up the rhizome. I cant wait to try this out!
Yeah, this is a much easier way. I always thought you had to dig up the rhizome too
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.
Mahalo
This man is so chill
I’d be too living in hawaii
Give before you take. Nice philosophy.
The only way to live!
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.
@@macysondheim and the world is the way it is because of people who think like you.
Yes I loved hearing that
Love the energy you bring to this video 😁🤙 thanks for explainin the basics, I'm psyched to go grow me some treehouse materials!
Mahalo, Bamboo is awesome, I hope you have fun growing and building with it.
Great video your excitement is contagious for helping this beautiful planet God bless you and yours thank for sharing
Thank you kindly
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 !
Let's hope! Mahalo for watching
Awesome! Really looking forward to seeing what you build
Me too!
This is so awesome. I just bought some culm cuttings and sugar cane. I can't wait to get planting. #Keepupthegreatwork #Stayingtuned
Mahalo for watching
great video
Mahalo
Thanks n love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Aloha from Hawaii. Mahalo for watching
Super awesome!!!!! Never will I dig up those tough rhizomes again!!!
Digging up is way too much work
Great video! Do you have a video on how your built your pergola/trellis? Love it!
I'm going to make a new one soon, I'll record that process
Another great video Shawn. Mahalo for sharing. Aloha
Mahalo
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.
Have fun!
bamboo....thanks for sharing, how to plant bamboo..new friend here
Awesome thanks for the info I subscribed. Just saved up some bamboo from a mulching place. Will pot it up when I get home from work
Awesome! Thanks for the sub. Good luck with propagating. Iʻm gonna make some more bamboo videos soon.
Nice i love bamboo thank you for sharing this
Thanks for watching
That is soooo cool!!!!! Thanks for sharing,...
Mahalo
Thank you for sharing! I’ll try in my home town soon.
Hope it works for you!
thank you fred durst
We look alike?
Thanks for the lesson and oneLOV 🤙
Enjoy growing your own 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?
I hate all the fluff, Good luck on your planting!
Great Video. Informative and right to the point. Thank you!
I love getting to it
Can't wait. Keep up the good stuff 👍
Mahalo
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
Thank you for this wonderful video.
Mahalo
Subscribed man. Great info, good message, Give before you take🔥
Thanks for subscribing. Hopefully I can keep sharing the manaʻo
Blessed Be 🖤
Love the stuff.
Me too!
Well said

Your welcome
Good to learn from you,
Lindo demais parabens. Grande abraço Brasil
Thank you
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!
No complaints we've been able to build great thing with it like you said!
It doesn’t take much!
Sounds like running bamboo.
@@LisaDavis-xd7dp😩 No running bamboo for me.
Awesome... I just bought a piece of property near Pahoa... I will want to propagate bamboo & use to build as well 🤙🏼😁👍🏼
Awesome! The more of us that learn to use it the better!
I also have just moved here to pahoa and wondered if you consult? I have just cleared about 1/2 to 3/4 of an acre
Sean I would be interested in some bamboo
@@rogerphillips1176 how about you send me your email.
@@rogerphillips1176 i wish I had some to spare. I cut most bamboo from other people that offer from fb posts
It's worth a try....🙏🙏🙏
Definitely!
Great job thank you so much
Wonderful,.congratulation
Mahalo
aye bro awesom vid
mahalo
Awesome 👏 just
Mahalo
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!
Bambusa oldhamaii. Clumping
Good information. Thanks!
Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Incrível parabens. Grande abraço Brasil
Mahalo!
DIOS LO COLME DE INFINITAS BENDICIONES DESDE COLOMBIA GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR DIOS LE REGALE MUCHISIMAAAA SABIDURÍA PARA COMPARTIR Y YO APRENDER DE USTED INFINITAS GRACIAS
Gracias
Do you think a dusting of rooting compound would help?
Can't hurt
dude wore the same shirt 3:55 for 2 months. Generation X!
Ha! All I have are black tshirts. I’ve given up on style
Aloha, love your videos! Do you think it's possible to plant the cutting directly on the ground full sun or it need more shade?? I'm in Kurtistown 🤙🤙
If you have plenty soil it should work in full sun, but wait for the fall when the rainy season starts up again
I have read that bamboo was abundant here in the southern US when the explorers came through here, and due to them it was mostly wiped out.
That’s too bad
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
I want to learn to how do plant bamboo and how to propagate bamboo
You watched the right video then. I have a few more on my channel too
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
Lucky bamboo is really easy to propagate
Pandas thrive on bamboo !
People can too!!
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 ?
Sure, can use a manual saw. A battery powered sawzall is better. I don’t have one. A chainsaw is overkill, but it’s fast.
@@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?
ممكن اعرف مواعيد عقل البامبو
و مواعيد الترقيدة الي البامبو
انا اليوم عملت تجربة من عقل البامبو خلال الشهر الحالي هل تنجح و تتكاثر و المفترض في العقل تاخذ وقت او فترة اد اية
I like to do everything in the wet months. It makes it easier. Wait 3 months and you should see roots
Cool stuff 👍
I have seen the thinner bamboo version that grows in the Northeast
How possible to grow if not tropical climates
Some varieties can do well in cold climates. Maybe I’ll make a video covering that.
Aloha. Do you sell golden Hawaiian bamboo for planting? Mahalo
No, sorry. I will be propagting more soon
Thank you brother!!!!🙏🏻
Yay!! My big bambusa is sprouting branches. I'll cut them and put them in soil. Do I have to do it during a specific season?
Wet season is always good otherwise just water
Great video. Where are you located? I want to learn how to work with bamboo. I'm in Kurtistown, with four teens and 14 cows.
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.
Excellent
Mahalo
👌👍
It be great if you could show the progress of your bamboo that you proprogated from cuttings.
Did I not show a rooted cutting in the end?
@@HomesteadinHawaii i think he meant like after a year or so
Bah kunfale asae tur pawriyal r ghar agawt na pisawt maiki loi ki engineer tur civil na ki
Just got some Yellow with the Green strips, I cut it into 5 pieces and planted. Not sure if it’s a runner or a clumped.
This man was high af during this film 😂
High on life, plus bright sun gives my stoner eyes
@@HomesteadinHawaiiall good man I ain’t judging
Ignore her !
How does one harvest bamboo seeds? Like, when and where could i find the seeds?
Bambopo only seeds once every few decades or so, you just happen upon it if you're lucky
@@HomesteadinHawaii I was hoping I could harvest seeds at least once a year. Ty
Will it still work if I cut off the branches? I got my cuttings from plants work and already cut off the branches before I saw this
Should work, give it a try!
@@HomesteadinHawaii awesome thanks!! I'll try to remember to come back here and update if it works
What kind of trees are u I sing before the vid?
Bambusa oldhamii
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
24hrs. I’d take them out of the car as soon as I could, within 24 hrs
I live in puna, have three acres, and want to grow the japanese timber bamboo. Were can i get a keiki?
I would need a botanical name but there is a bamboo nursery in hawi
@@HomesteadinHawaii Bambusa oldhamii or Dendrocalamus giganteus
Super video, can I take cuttings from young clumping bamboo?
Thanks
Pretty sure that’s ok but I haven’t tried. It is worth experimenting
@@HomesteadinHawaii cheers thanks very much
Love the content as always my brother! Im in oahu now and can't wait to start up my homestead when I land In Big Island. I'm longing to ditch the crowds.
btw what would you say are the most beautiful (and secluded) beaches on Hawai'i island
I'll give you two. Makalewena in kona and shipman Beach (haena) on hilo side
thx 😍
No proplem
I tried this on a smaller plant...the leaves shriveled up after day 2 will it survive or am i wasting my time?
Leaves always die off, gotta wait
Bamboo Seeds Plants vs Tissue culture, which one is the Best quality for Future bamboo ` which one Grow faster ?
I haven't tried either, I do cuttings and airlayers and division
Fuck yea man, bamboo rocks
It does!
I’m confused about moso bamboo from seeds. I see it is the one of the fastest growing in the world but how long does it take to grow from a seed?
I’m sorry I cannot help. I have never grown it from seed
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...
I would air layer, I made a video on how to do that as well. It only takes 2-3 months to root. Should be plenty of time in the south
@@HomesteadinHawaii Awesome, TY! Watching now.
Does this work with running and clumping bamboo?
It should. Just gotta try
So did the old bamboo die when you cut the top off??
yes, but you can make cuttings from each node
@@HomesteadinHawaii oh thank you. So each cutting should be 2 nodes?
@@Pippie5555 one node is fine
how old bamboo is useful for this method
I’d say 1-3 years old would be best
Can u propagate via cuttings without offshoots?
You can but you won’t be as successful
@@HomesteadinHawaii thank you for replying! Sadly i don't have any other chance or way, let's hope I get lucky hehe
Can i use this method on the small clumping bamboo im growing...help pls??🥺🇦🇺
I'm pretty sure it'll work
Can I propagate Black Forrest Bamboo with this technique?
It should work!
Is that clumping bamboo or running bamboo
Clumping
Omg he is building from bamboo. Automatically my friend
I love building with bamboo
@@HomesteadinHawaii hi there! I have been studying this topic for a while and I think I want to start off a bamboo plantation!
Shawn, now I watched a couple of your videos. Like you are amazing, bro
I have property in Volcano and I want to start planting. Are you on the Big Island?
I am!
@@HomesteadinHawaii Do you sell or help plant? I want to plant about an acre. I have 1 structurial I planted about 5 years ago....I want to plant runner along front of property. How to you stop from going on neighbors? Can I dig to line to lava to create line that it won't run over? Thoughts? Mahalo
Do you sell bamboo poles?
Nah, but you can ask in fb groups, many people give for free
