Re: clumping bamboo
thanks everyone.. i now have alphose carr which i am pretty satisfied with so far. i am thinking if getting a runner and putting down a barrier in some places.. im not very familiar with a lot of bamboo by proper names just the Alphonse carr and black bamboo. black bamboo is a runner i kept it in a container.
im not really a bamboo nut as of the posting of this thread but
i have been checking out what others are growing in my area and i i dont think i would chance any timber bamboo like i saw one guy growing on his property. looks good but a culm as big as a some types of pine is too much.
i have been observing how tall some of the culms get on the bamboo get in my area and decided which one i want to try out. i have had my eye on one that looks a little like a willow. the reason for this is because i dont want to spend lots or money for a small size plant have to wait for it to grow and still not be satisfied with it.
i will bury a two foot deep barrier well away from any fence line and keep watch on it.
as for anyone who does not want to risk chasing bamboo go with a clumper. i dropped $80 for one big 15 gallon Alphonse carr and two medium ones. i have culms as thick as my thumb and 13 ft high on the big one.
the guy gave me a break after helping him with his pindo palms..told him he didnt need to use a lot of expensive copper on crown rotted plants...peroxide is cheaper. i use it.
