who else is growing bamboo ?

[Riz]

Frequently asked questions.



Do they grow in UK? Without a doubt they grow, and some bamboos reach 15 to 18 feet in height with culm circumferences of just over 3 inches.


Do they take a lot of looking after? Difficult question to answer. Some bamboo growers endlessly water them, feed them, talk and sing to them etc. I'm afraid all I do is give them plenty of water for the first year and then ......... I ignore them. They thrive on it. No doubt if I were in the mood to look after them a little better, they'd grow a lot bigger and better. But then I'm just bone idle as a gardener, so planting bamboo is just perfect for someone like me!


Are bamboo plants expensive to buy? Depends where you obtain them from and how big a plant you want to pay for. Bamboo is now becoming such a popular and unusual plant for the garden that many of the "upmarket" UK garden centres seem to just think of a figure, triple it, add a bit extra - I've seen some plants of reasonable size being sold for almost £200 ..... and this price is even for fairly common varieties. Even some of the "cheaper" garden centers are asking up to £100 for one plant. There are however much cheaper sources! The cheapest source of the lot is to grow them from seed. Unfortunately bamboo seed is fairly difficult to obtain .... many bamboos only flower and produce seed every few decades. There is one source of seed in the UK and that is to join the The Bamboo Society (http://www.d.lane.btinternet.co.uk/www.bamboo-society.org.uk) which run's a sort of seed exchange programme for members. Apart from seed and garden centres, the other alternative is to purchase fairly small plants from a specialist bamboo nursery where you can expect to pay in the region of £22 to £45 per plant. These "smaller" plants will not remain small for long and something which arrives by post on your doorstop about 2 foot high can reach over 8 foot by it's third year.



How tall do bamboos grow? This is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. It all depends. It depends on the normal growing height of the variety being planted, some bamboos are only small, some are huge. It depends on how much watering and feeding you are willing to do.

i bought some bamboo seeds from e-bay 2 season ago

here is a pic.. this variety is called "phyllostachys pubescens" also known as "moso" these are runner bamboo as opposed to the "clumping variety" i payed £2.50 for 30 bamboo seeds.

[Riz]

it says on the pack it takes 20 to 30 days to germinate indoors,( mine germinated in 9 days) but i started all of them in a pot outdoors and out of the 30 only 2 germinated.. so i grew it on in a container, i even left it oudoors during the winter and it grew back, this is the 2nd season of the moso bamboo in a container and i am very happy with it. The moso can grow upto 60 to 80 feet in the right conditions and it spreads about 5 feet radius eventually as this is the "runner variety"

[Riz]

i will pot the moso bamboo in the ground inshallah next season, right at the back of the garden.

[Riz]

i bought 2 bamboo 1 foot plants 2 season ago online for crocus.co.uk

fargeisa robusta ( clump variety)
phyllostachys nigra ( black bamboo clump variety)

[Riz]

first pic, 2 seasons ago when i first planted it

recent pics after 2 seasons of growth

[Riz]

i planted 2 black bamboo plants aswell ( 1 foot plants) the first season they were a bit slow to grow (last pic) but the 2nd season mashallah they taken of really well both specimans have. I see new rhizomes shooting from the ground almost every other day, this is the clumping variety as you can se the rhizomes grow not far from the main roots.

[Kirsten]

I have one of those little bamboo plants that grow in water, but it was sitting on a table and I accidentally knocked it over - and the top snapped off. :( I can't do bamboo in the yard - the neighborhood here has all sorts of rules about what you can and can't do around your house and like to threaten you with lawsuits if you don't follow them.

Yours, on the other hand, look gorgeous!!

[~Obsidian~]

We once had a lucky bamboo plant in our house...poor thing couldn't cope with light, and it died eventually :( (we did try it just didn't take) Yours look really nice and healthy!

[Riz]

After the first season of growing you can basically neglect them and they will thrive, its a very low maintanance plant, when the wind hits them they make a wonderful rustling sound,, i love bamboo you can even eat the rhizomes,,,

[Riz]

another pic of the bamboo i started from a seed in its second season, i shall plant this in the ground next season inshallah

[Riz]

another pic of the one i grew from a seed "moso".. its a beauty

[tahir_phoenix]

Salaam Riz - this bamboo plant u have is brilliant!! But aren't bamboos known for spreading very quickly? What's the best way to stop them taking over your garden as I'm planning on getting a nice large bamboo to plant up against a fence but don't want it to go mad after a few years to the point where I need to use my machete!

Thanks T

Bamboos are perfect for screening..

Growing Bamboo is really rewarding especially if you grow them from seed, you can buy the seeds from E-bay like I did, and they are extremely cheap swell.

there are two types of bamboo

clump variety

runner variety

the latter once established will spread its rhizomes really quick and far probably into next doors garden :) so many people grow them in pots or build a rhizome barrier made out of plastic and around 1inch thick that will stop the rhizomes from spreading.

The clump variety takes longer to establish and the rhizomes will grow quite close to the root ball for the first few seasons and they very slowly they will spread but not too far for the mother.

I have the clump variety of bamboo and the runner both growing, because of our cool climate the runners spread real slow.

I have the following bamboo growing in the garden

'Phyllostachys Nigra ( black bamboo) runner variety

Fargesia Robusta (clump variety)

Phyllostachys Pubescence (runner variety) in container

It’s a very interesting plant to grow and very addictive, check out this website and make sure you get the right one for you…

some pics of bamboo in diffrent stages of growth

[~Obsidian~]

The first two pictures are awesome!

[Riz]

The first two pictures are awesome!


thanks.

they are not my pics though.. growing bamboo is really addictive, each bamboo germinated looks like a single blade of grass, it has amazing structure and is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. One can do so many different things with bamboo it really is a versatile amazing plant. You can eat the rhizomes, make furniture, some countries use huge bamoo for construction scaffolding espically in poor countries around the world, you can make bridges out of bamboo and even smoking pipes, combs etc....

[Riz]

Growth
Bamboo offers many advantages, not the least of which is its amazing rate of growth. In fact, no other plant in the world grows faster than bamboo. Once established, bamboo plants will send up a number of shoots that will reach their full height in just one year, which makes bamboo the champion grower of all the woody plants. In fact, the record growth in a single twenty-four period is an astounding 47.6 inches! That's nearly four FEET in one day.
As for overall growth, although it's common to see bamboo plants 100 feet tall, the largest bamboo plant ever recorded grew to a height of 180 feet. It measured more than a foot in diameter and its walls were at least an inch thick. Such growth easily qualifies bamboo as the largest member of the grass family.
Strength
Another legendary trait is bamboo's strength. It has a tensile strength superior to mild steel, able to withstand pressure of 52,000 pounds per square inch, which is superior to graphite. That means that on top of being the fastest growing woody plant and the tallest grassy plant, bamboo is also the strongest woody plant, as well...twice as stable as oak or walnut when used in ladders or scaffolding.
Versatile
Bamboo is truly an amazing plant, but its uses as a resource have yet to be fully tapped. It can be selectively harvested every year with no impact on the environment and no need to replant, thereby saving thousands of man hours and fuel costs. It's an incredibly versatile building material, as well, providing income, food, and housing to 2.2 billion people around the globe...but we've only scratched the surface of bamboo's true potential.

some pics of the bamboo in a container in its 2nd season and this will stay outdoors all through the winter and ill know it will bounce right back in mid may...

moso

[Riz]

I planted this in the ground 2 season ago.. they are spreading out really well.. well pleased with it

fargeisa robusta

[Riz]

these two also planted at the same time as the one above

black bamboo

[~Obsidian~]

So I went to Ikea today, bought a lucky bamboo stick. It's currently living in a vase in the kitchen :D I hope it survives this time!!

[edibles]

2 questions

1) how tall is your moso now
2) did u buy them from the german supplier on ebay

[Riz]

2 questions

1) how tall is your moso now
2) did u buy them from the german supplier on ebay

salaam..

the moso is about 2 foot in a pot in its 2nd season,, ill take a pic tomorrow
Not from the german supplier but i have seen his seeds. the supplier was a brit, had very low germination rate though

[edibles]

2ft? are they not supposed to be closer to 75ft cold hardy or do they survive cold but stunt growth

[Riz]

2ft? are they not supposed to be closer to 75ft cold hardy or do they survive cold but stunt growth


eventually but not in the first couple of seasons, they need time for the root ball to get established, in uk climate if they get 20 feet i would love it :)

[Riz]

its been raining today, tiny bit gloomy :sky11:

here is the latest pic of the moso bamboo plant in a container.. its around 2 feet. This variety is really hardy, i was thinking of burying it in the garden next season next to the black bamboo its ideal for screening aswell....

[Riz]

my moso in a pot, I will be planting this in the ground next July next to the black bamboo in the back of the garden.. cant wait !!!!

black bamboo and fargeisa robusta, they have doubled in size since last season :)

[Riz]

some pics of my hardy bamboos, that i bought from the internet 2 seasons ago, they almost double in size every season :)

[Tania]

Has a great look and cover so well the fence. I thought to plant thuja trees to cover my fences but i will have to think. This year i bought flower seeds for this purpose.

[Riz]

yes..

and they make a great rustling noise when the wind goes through them,,woooosh!!!

the one in the pot "moso bamboo" is looking a bit rough and should be ok, its in its 3rd season, grown from seed by me :) not given it any fertilzer or nutrients, just mulched it in october 2008

[Riz]

i had to scrape these from the ground and shake of all the snow, was completly flattened by the weight of the snow,, they are looking healthy though.. they are quite hardy once they are established and the root system is developed..

[~Obsidian~]

My lonely bamboo stick is still in a vase, not doing much.

Boring!

[Riz]

yeah, very boring ... :)

when you have some spare cash buy yourself some bamboo seeds from e-bay. If you can germinate a date kernel you will have no problems with the bamboo, it kinda resembles the palm seedling as one single blade of grass emerges..

[Riz]

the moso bamboo i grew in a container 2 seasons ago , is slowly shooting up green stems.. i will pot this in the ground later on...

[Riz]

today i dug a huge hole next to the other bamboo and planted my moso bamboo that i have been growing in a container from seed 3 seasons ago

dug the hole really deep and scattered chicken pellets and worked the soil really well

[Riz]

packed it in really well and firm, then gave it a good watering and them mulched it, inshallah this will suffice and in a few weeks new shoots will emerge from it :)

[rainbox]

I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if you've already answered this but doesn't bamboo die after it flowers? So you grow it really nice and big and lovely, and then suddenly it bolts and dies. It always kind of put me off bamboo a bit because it seems a bit pointless growing them if that happens... But I love bamboo so I hope I'm wrong:)

[Riz]

its very rare to have a bamboo that is flowering and indeed they do die ( its a mystery why) but they only flower every 3 decades ( 30 years) so a long time.. bamboo must be the worlds most versatile plant/tree, you can eat it, wear it, make a house, furniture, cutting implements, in some 3rd world countries bamboo is used for scaffolding around buildings.. i have never been to a bamboo garden, but i have watched a few programmes on the t.v and i think fully grown bamboos are stunning...

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/sajid_012/bamboo-forest-1.jpg



http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/sajid_012/bamboo-forest-kyoto.jpg

[rainbox]

Wow those bamboos are definitely stunning! If it's only every 30 years it's ok, I though it was more often than that because I have a vague recollection of a friends bamboo flowering when I was little, and ever since then I've had a thing about it :P

maybe it's time to give the bamboo a chance... Although I don't know how I would find the space for it, they're better off in the ground aren't they?

Hemp is pretty versatile too, but it doesn't make as nice a sound when the wind blows through it :)

[Riz]

you can grow them in pots many people do in uk, as some species are really evasive, but dunno growing them in pots on a boat though, they might hit a low bridge :)

[rainbox]

Don't know about the bridge, but still not sure if it would work very well:P Hmm I need to get myself some land!

[Riz]

trimmed my Phyllostachys Nigra (black bamboo) trimmed it to a nice round shape :)

3rd season for the bamboo, i bought it online from crocus.co.uk along with 2 others as small 1 foot plants

[daisy]

^^^ masha'Allaah looks top!

Daisy

:butterfly3:

[Riz]

trimmed my other bamboo into a nice ball shape :)

[Riz]

the MOSO that i planted is doing ok, not seen any green growth from it yet, also need to remove all the weeds that surround it...

[edibles]

I got some new shoot popping out, they're quite invasive, but easy to get rid of

[Riz]

Finally, i see tiny leaves sprouting from the stems of the bamboo, its still looking really scrawny but inshallah it will really pick up when we have a few days of decent sunshine.... i watered it well the other day with my hosepipe and added some more mulch to it... i grew this bamboo ( moso) from a seed almost 3 seasons ago. so i really want it too grow well :)

[Riz]

the bamboo i pruned in post 45 is growing really well as you can see if you compare the pics..

[Riz]

the bamboos are really taking off with little help from me in terms of watering and such :)

[Riz]

my fargeisa robusta is really taking off, after a great pruning early on in the season..

[Riz]

moso bamboo i started from seed a while a go..

have some nice fresh rhizomes popping out all over the place, well impressed { does an irish tap dance}

[Riz]

my moso bamboo plant is really turning green now, and i see rhizomes pop up almost everyday ;)

and the rest of the bamboos are now well established and i dont even bother to water them anymore :)

[Riz]

these long stems are just growth i have seen in the last too weeks on my bamboo.. they are really taking off now..

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/sajid_012/bamboo.jpg

[edibles]

they are getting big now. the diameter of the new shoot does not change even if the bamboo reaches max height, so you'll know if you're about to get a big one if the new shoots are very thick

[Riz]

fargiesa robusta, in its 3rd season and the rhizomes have not strayed too far,, they are all clumped up :)

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/sajid_012/IMGP1537.jpg

[Riz]

the moso plant is almost green... I might dedicate that corner of the garden to growing different varieties of bamboo, probably the clump variety of the bamboo and ill plant them close together so they don't grow to big... thats my plan for the bamboos for next season :)

[Riz]

fargisa robusta


http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/sajid_012/banban.jpg

thank you Riz

Igrow bamboo
Iput it in water

can Igrow it out the door
the weather very hot

[Riz]

thats the "lucky bamboo" noora ? its not strictly bamboo although it looks like it

best thing to do is buy a 1 foot bamboo plant and in you region it will grow really well and really quickly almost 1 foot per day..

[noora]

thank you Riz

[Riz]

MOSO bamboo

In its second season grown from a seed bought from E-bay. Out of 30 seeds i only got 2 to germinate, grew them in a 40% soil and 60% sand mixture. Next season it will really take off like the other 2 types of bamboo i have growing....

[noora]

thank you Riz

[Dunemist]

Wow - these look great. We are thinking of buying some from a nursery, so they will already be about 10 foot high at time of purchase. We want them for a similar position to yours, so they will act as a screen against the fence. I'm a bit worried about them spreading, even though I've heard that the clumping varieties don't do this (but thought they still had a tendency to stray?). Yours certainly look as if they are heading for outer space. Is there a maximum height they will grow? Don't want to offend the neighbours.

[Riz]

The clumpers spread out really slow, Usually they stay clumped together for years,, mine are in there 3rd season and are still clumped up and none of the rhizomes have spread into next doors garden even though they are only 2 feet away from the fence..

i have 3 diff types

fargeisa robusta ( * bought as 1 ft plant)
2 Phyllostachys nigra*

Phyllostachys pubescence ( moso) grown from seed

they grow as tall and as wide as the hot weather permits.. i love the bamboo it has come one of my all favourite plants, i like the "whooooooooooshhhh" sound the leaves make when the wind hits them..

10 foot is going to be huge, it will have a good established rootball, so maybe you only need to buy one one divide the rootball and plant them in other places or in a pot :)

[Riz]

4 to 6 foot bamboo plants from nurseries are rather expensive ..

http://www.seagravenurseries.co.uk/products/bamboo?gclid=CLS3jMeW1aQCFRr92AodLwmKLQ

[Dunemist]

Thank you. All good information. We too love the sound of the breeze in the plants, which is one of the reasons why we want to put it up near the house. I'd like to plug a gap between the summer house and fence; and my husband wants to cover up the boundary fence. We may take your advice then and buy one clump and divide it.

Thanks.

[Riz]

bamboo still green :) garden is looking messy, lots of leaves on the ground

[pwr_wrx]

I got this from the lake by my house...theres a area where theres nothing but bamboo. a whole forest of 20ft tall bamboo..i used to go running and that was part of my route..its a amazing thing..so i pulled some out with the roots and planted it..hopefully it grows...i havent had much luck with bamboo in the past...any tips?

[Riz]

yeah it should grow if you taken the rootball too..

is it the runner bamboo or the clumping variety !?

[pwr_wrx]

The runner bamboo I think? its spread out all over but its really dense to the point where there are nothing but bamboo. no other plants...

[Riz]

probably is the runner bamboo.. the rhizomes will start spreading soon, but winter is drawing in, so probably wont be doing much growing until the root ball is established and then in mid spring it will shoot out rhizomes everywhere.. It will be hard to contain the rhizomes and they will spread really far away from the actual rootball. so you can leave it like it if you prefer a bamboo grove in a couple of years or you can transfer the bamboo into a huge pot and grow it in there :)

[pwr_wrx]

I would love a nice bamboo area...its in a contained area about 100 sq ft, along with the jelly palms

[Riz]

pruned one of the bamboos few days ago, so light can get into it..... it was really growing out of shape..

[Riz]

bamboos at back of garden , the one on left hand side is two years old and growing really well ( moso)

[Riz]

fargeisa robusta

gave this one a pruning from the middle too, to let some light in

[pwr_wrx]

Looks good ;) I'm still waiting on mine to grow. It hasn't got any new leaves but has survived the frost ;)

[Foreveryoung]

Model Town Park has a 2.5 km track and Bamboos are growing all around the track on its left side as a fence. Here is what i captured today.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/sajid_012/bam.jpg

[Riz]

aww great pic..

cant wait for mine to look like that :)

[pwr_wrx]

Will the bamboos be harmful to the plants around them? i planted mine by my jelly palms and dont want the bamboos to grow and suck up all the nutrients my palms need

[Riz]

what kind you growing clump or runner variety of bamboo ?

[pwr_wrx]

I guess runner? Because I pulled it out of a bamboo "forest". nothing but bamboos there. I'll try to go there today and take a pic

[Riz]

once root-ball gets established the rhizomes do spread all over the place, unless you dig down around and place plastic rhizome barrier 2 feet into the ground around the bamboo plant.

[pwr_wrx]

I took some pics of the bamboo from the trail

[Riz]

new rhizomes are growing....

I was just looking for some bamboo pics when I came across this beautiful décor. A lady has shared pics of her home and she had a bamboo tree just like u have in ur garden and what she does is to cut a few pieces of bamboo each week to make her house pretty.lol.. So do u think is she doing her a favor using up these massive bamboo trees? Any way I love the way they look in living room and being completely free is the best part!!! You can do the same ?
just filled up ur favorite vase with water and the bamboo………

lol and check out this one -)


A very popular gift is the lucky bamboo plant. It is giving in order to bring the recipient good luck. For example just moved into a new home and someone may want to give you a small plant as a gift. It is believed tht owning a three stalked bamboo plant is meant to bring you joy and happiness. If you receive a five stalked bamboo plant, it should bring you good health.
A six stalked bamboo plant, given as a present, will bring you peace of mind and harmony. Finally, if you get an indoor bamboo plant as a gift that ends in eight, like, 8, 18, 28, or 38, it should bring you great wealth.

Sooooooooo prettttttttttty ..

http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/AyeshaUK2009/bamboos/lucky-bamboo.jpg

I got all this info when i was trying to see how many types of bamboos are there actually and which one's u got in ur garden.

[Foreveryoung]

Oh right. Just checked ur thread all over and u have mentioned these are fargeisa robusta ( clump variety)
phyllostachys nigra ( black bamboo clump variety)



May i please share a beautiful pic of a path of bamboos :)...
