Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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.

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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... : ) |

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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... : ) |

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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!

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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? Last edited by Bob : 10-24-2010 at 06:42 AM. Reason: sp |

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:

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
I may be mistaken but I think you need part of the root system (rhizome) to propagate bamboo

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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.

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?
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
