Re: Bambusa Lako
I have a Gigantochloa Atrovilacea.. the other tropical black bamboo. It's a little dicey here... each winter it gets a little stressed. I think the Lako is similar. 2 yrs ago lost all of it's leaves, but came back well in the spring. This year was a good one, i got 7 shoots.. 3 of which are about full size now. It's not cheap.. I think I paid $250 for a 15 gal.
There's a guy in Chino Hills, Jim Rehor, who sells tons of bamboo. His place is covered in bamboo... and he's real knowledgeable. I've purchased about 7 or 8 different species of bamboo from him.
