Not the first time I've been wrong. Like with black bamboo(P.nigra)the south facing part of the stem may get bleached out by the end of summer.

The cheesmanii experiment still has me wondering though. I'm gonna buy some of that strechy plastic stuff and wrap it around the P-stem of M.cheesmanii, and then remove it in the fall, to see what the difference between full sun, and shade will be.
