looking to control bamboo height
Written by bambooforum

I am looking to curtail the height of my d. bissetti and spectabilis. I have been told to stop feeding them fertilizer. Makes sense..... but i was wondering that if I cut out the nitrogen, and just feed them Silica and potassium, would that still be ok. I hate not giving them supplements, but due to my property size, and distance from my house, a good rainstorm would potentially place the leaning boo's on my roof if they were grown to their fullest potential in the future. As of now they are 10 footers and only in thier 2nd season.
*****Also.....I was told that if I top them off at a desired height, that the culm itself would die. How true is this??
***Note: I am currently building a stringer system across the property line to keep them from weeping over too much.
Any thoughts/imput would be greatly appreciated.

Are these new shoots or rhizomes?

I'm getting many of these spikes that look like they are trying to push up and grow into new shoots however once they reach about 1 inch high, they kind of bend and just stay there, and these are coming up randomly throughout the grove. They also just come up and then stay about the same size since some of these have appeared over 2 weeks ago.
Does anyone know what the point of these spikes are? They might be rhizomes since they have sharp tips and look too large to be shoots, so I've considered putting another layer of manure on the whole thing.
Close up of a few of them coming off a culm.
