What do you think of planting 3 clumps at a time in a triangle pattern with the plans maybe four or five feet apart? I am incorporating my new Alphonse into my garden, I am not wanting a hedge I just wanted to have several areas with airy groups of beautiful bamboo.

What Sasa or other large-leaved species will stay in the 2'-3' tall range? I've got a few that typically stay in that range, but could possibly get 6' tall or so, and that won't work for this area. Something that spreads somewhat aggressively would be better than something that is a slow spreader, but I'll take any suggestions right now, fast or slow.

Hey,
Does anyone have any information on this species? I just ordered seeds (they were really cheap) of this and Fargesia fungosa and was wondering if there is any information on them. From what I've read F. yunnanensis is large growing, and hardy to something between -18c and -28c. I'm thinking it will be a zone '6' type bamboo... I don't know.
Anyway, when and if the seeds arrive and germinate I'll get some pics.
I'm always interested in bamboo seeds if anyone has a flowering boo this year!
Cheers,
Paul

I see a lot of pictures here of bamboo. Mostt are of a hedge or a nice grove or clump. Few are of bamboo alongside other plants in a garden. Do any of y'all use them in mixed plantings?

Hi all,
I just bought a 15-gallon pot of Bambusa textilis 'Mutabilis' and when I got home, I noticed two flowers. The plant itself looks plenty healthy, with several new shoots. Has anybody heard of other Mutabilis (or other textilis cultivars) starting to flower? What might my plant's chance of survival be?
Thank you!
Gerhard
