What did you plant today (other plants)? - Page 54

PennyG · 07-20-2010, 06:30 AM

Well done Dave, i love that!

Caloosamusa · 07-26-2010, 12:47 PM

Today I planted a sweet orange, a Persian Lime, and a few Beniatos (Batatas).

sandy0225 · 08-03-2010, 04:34 PM

Well, not today, but over the last week or so, 100 hardy hibiscus "Plum Crazy" out in front of the house. We ripped up the old privet hedges and we're planting the hedge of hardy hibiscus. Now I won't have to get out there with the hedge trimmers in the spring when we're too busy.

saltydad · 08-03-2010, 05:02 PM

What an interesting idea, Sandy!

sunfish · 08-03-2010, 10:11 PM

100 Passiflora seed 21 varieties

The Hollyberry Lady · 08-22-2010, 12:53 PM

Although the ground was super hard to dig into, like rock, I finally got a hole dug for my new "Magicberry" Holly shrub, which is just a fancy name for a male "Blue Prince" and female "Blue Princess" Holly shrub stuck in the same pot.

I intend on teasing the two shrubs apart next Spring, but will enjoy them together in the ground this Fall and Winter by our back door...

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-06-2010, 10:18 PM

It's kinda late but I just finished transplanting my "Patio" tomato plant into a much bigger pot to prepare it for it's indoor Fall and Winter fruit production, in my south windows.

Wish it wasn't nighttime or I'd show a shot...

: )

Dalmatiansoap · 09-21-2010, 04:07 PM

I planted 6 palm seedlings today. I hope it isnt too late

estan · 09-21-2010, 05:44 PM

Not sure if I mentioned in April I spent two weeks planting about 50 trees on my new property in southern Costa Rica. Mostly fruit and shade and a few flowering things and bamboo. Google "Santiago Springs Costa Rica" to see the development --2.8 acres for one tenth of what a smaller lot would cost on the coast --only one and a half hrs. away. My dream is coming true!

SoBe Musa · 09-22-2010, 12:17 AM

About another various 20-25 palm seedlings. Chamaerops, Washingtonias, Braheas, one Butia and one Datylifera. Cant wait till Spring to plant few Syagrus too

Bob · 10-24-2010, 06:36 AM

Emily , just saw this one now the black stemmed bamboo is "Phyllostachys Nigra" Phyllostachys nigra - Black Bamboo - Poaceae, the yellow one with the green stripes is " Robert Young" http://http://www.lewisbamboo.com/ryoung.html

Usually they are propagated by cutting off bits of the rhizome. Did yours end up rooting?

Emily,

Bob is absolutely correct.

After I learned from Bob the name of the black stemmed bamboo, Phyllostachys Nigra, I found the following information for you from Propagating Phyllostachys nigra - Bamboo Forum - GardenWeb :

Quote:

It's no harder than any other running bamboo. You either need a division from an existing plant that includes a good sized root ball, or you need to start it from a piece of rhizome with viable buds. A division is the most reliable way; you may have anywhere from 0-100% success trying to start from rhizome pieces. You cannot propagate any running bamboo, including Ph. nigra, from branch or culm cuttings.

My neighbor grows Phyllostachys Nigra in her backyard for over 12 years. Those runner bamboos can be very invasive.

SoBe Musa · 10-24-2010, 04:52 PM

I may be mistaken but I think you need part of the root system (rhizome) to propagate bamboo

Dalmatiansoap · 11-07-2010, 02:43 PM

Four P. Dactylifera, one W. Robusta and one P. Canaiensis.

bananarama2 · 11-07-2010, 03:19 PM

SoBe Musa, hope you caught the advise given in the posts below....yes, must be started from rhizomal material, yes, very invasive, so contain with barriers of some type, or be prepared for lots of maintenance to keep in bounds.

tbaleno · 11-07-2010, 04:26 PM

Heres the radishes my son and I planted.

Congrat's on the "Robert Young" it'll be growing in no time flat. I'd definitely try to get some roots of the Phylostachys Nigra..... and send some to New Jersey for a try
