Enthusiastic, positive, fun, smart as heck-- I love this guy.
thanks John your videos are never boring always something to learn thanks for your time 🐝🐤👍👍👍👍👍
ROFL! You are the best! The saw is almost like a sword in your hands. :D
This man is the best
In love with your no nonsense, down to earth wealth of information style, rare and utterly delightful, THANK YOU. X
Great useful video… and I’m glad you’ve given up with the music in recent years!!!
I am starting to grow bamboo, and am really enjoying these videos!
love your energy and your fally over bamboo )
Well. You certainly command authority waving the saw around 😂
I've just found this plant growing in my very overgrown garden , didn't know what it was and I knew John would let me know ! Cheers x
Love the video's John, as always I learned something new you do crack me up at times.
Yes I won a variegated dwarf bamboo as a door prize at a respected botanical garden’s annual party and a year after I planted it it was all over the place, ran into the neighbor’s yard too and I had to dig a lot to get it in bounds. They never warned me.
There seems to be only one ‘safe’ variegated dwarf bamboo and that’s Arundinaria viridistiatus, or whatever it’s called now
you bamboozed me!
I love this guy!
👍💚
Great
How long does leycesteria formosa take to grow to that size? I planted 2 in my garden to work as a decidious hedge and yours look beautiful
I'm from Chicago and have Green Bamboo. All the leaves have died from the winter but the stalk is green and strong. Will new green leaves grow on the old stocks replacing the Dead Leaves?
RHS doesn’t seem to say the vivax will grow on clay? John says it will? Now I’m confused. I want one but I have clay soil. Advice?
I mean which season
Do clumpers need a barrier? Great videos Lord!
No need for a barrier. Just cut back any unwanted growth at the bottom of the clump if it starts to spread. I do this once every month to keep mine in check.
Please. John. More bamboo videos
Hi love your vedios very informative. I have a question do you find the fergesia nitida runs at all or does it behave. Thank you.
It runs slowly but over time takes up a good bit of space and it arches over when mature to fill even more space.
@@johnlordssecretgarden thank you I think I will keep them in pots as my border isn't that big and it's next to a neighbours fence.
John, I'm bamboozled as to why these plants have such unpronounceable names! But very interesting for me as I intend to use these beautiful plants for screening on my patio. Will they be comfortable facing west?
James Graham I have been growing Bamboo in a commercial setting for most of my life. I happy to report that many many species perfer west facing areas. Where is your growing environment? If you provide me with your location or growing zone, and some context of what you're trying to accomplish in your garden, I can assist you further.
Hi James, that's a good question. Yes it should be ok.
Hi John love the Vivax it's gigantic! I have Phyllostachys Nigra Punctata and Phyllostachys Aurea( green with bumpy canes at the end no yellow at all) How much do they spread, should I put in a root barrier or are they well behaved, thank you.!
Phyllostachys aurea I found quite invasive and not at all yellow. P. aureosulcata vars are better. P. vivax does run a bit, often quite far out from the plant, but easily controlled as not a lot of canes are produced each year.
@@johnlordssecretgarden Thanks John , all the other sites said the green form of aurea with the nodes is less invasive then yellow in Irish/UK Climate, how is Phyllostachys Nigra in comparison, thank you.
Hi John, I live in warm Greece, and I wanted to know when is the best time to divide /split bamboo plants ? Thank you
I mean which season autumn ?
Heavy clay soil? That’s what I have it is hell....
My nahbour didn't get the note, I runners to tear out every so often
The guy who’s talking is amazing. The camera man sucks
