- All the basic information you need to know about bamboo, running or clumping the choice is yours this way you know how to identify the basis (most common) bamboos in the garden centre.
I planted some oldhamii bamboo for quick backyard privacy. Ended up wanting more for the side and found a deal but they said they "think" its oldhamii. Never heard of the flat spot until this video which they dont have. Thank you for this info! Definitely do not want any running problems.
Thank you, glad i could help, and Oldhamii is a nice plant 👍
Very interesting video Jochen and nice to see a part of the
collection👍
You are the man! Thanks
Thank you 😀
I need to go get a runner or 5 the man next door likes to plant blackberrys in the hadge so i get his thorns and he gets my new bamboo thanks for the tip i needed so expert plant tips
😀 revenge planting, I like it. Phyllostachys atrovaginata is a great plant and once it takes off it grows very fast. Pseudosasa Japonica is also a fast grower. However, the bamboo will not just stay in the hedge, unless you take precautions, they can take over your and your neighbours garden 😉
@@jochen.allardice-grein what i hear you say is my 3 sides of bamboo needs barrier ok got it
@Anders Nørregren they might, depending where you plant them
You talked too quickly for me to get it 100%. Which is WAY better than many who talk too slowly for theatrical effect. Could you please clarify for me? The running type, are their roots "generally" shallow? Meaning, with a bit of effort, they can be dug out or dug back for control?
Thanks.
I also tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.
😂 thank you and this is me talking slow 😂To answer your Question, yes the rhizomes are usually quite shallow, I have a few videos about it as well th´ry this one (czcams.com/video/UWteCuzgTyQ/video.html) and thank you for feeding the algorithm monster, that means a lot to me 👍
My eyes are a little glazed over. Your bamboos looks amazing. I love the black cane. Was that one a runner or a clumper? Went to the garden center for the first time yesterday. I don't know why I can't walk out without something in my hands. Looks like another nice day there. We can't seem to get away from the rain and single digits last couple of weeks. I can practically hear the grass growing! 😶
Tammy, the weather here has been shit... ibwas lucky today while taping but it turned shortly after. The black one is a runner and a quick one too. But there are so many ways to control them it you have a few m2 (and you do ) it is work at first but not ongoing... I am braving this one because I don't have a barrier or trench...I am living dangerously (I really need to get a life or a addiction) 😀
i have some seabreeze bamboo and notice flatspots where the branches come out at, but go away once they're slightly older
i had it identified to make sure it wasn't a runner and they said seabreeze grows really fast which can create a flat spot
Seabreeze is a sexy bamboo and a clumper, I don't have it, but need to get one now 😀, this is the thing with the flat part on the cane, it is a great indication for the bamboos in general garden centres, I have not seen seabreeze (Bambusa Malingensis) in a garden centre here in Germany, I have however seen a lot lof runners being sold as clumpers (Arrow bamboo, Golden bamboo and so on ).
@@jochen.allardice-grein if you have cold winters count it as a annual plant, i get lots of snow and cold temps here so the canes freeze off but comes back strong in the spring. the long branches are what make seabreeze so nice
Great video!😊 Love bamboo! Do you have any fargesia robusta in your garden? My robusta campbell clump is planted 2 years now and I reckon it's about 3 years growing altogether from it's original pot. Biggest of canes still a little off 6 foot. I know it's meant to reach about 3 meters. Do you think it'd take another 2-3 years to get to this height?
Thank you 😊, I don't have a robusta but it is a great plant, they gain in speed and height over the years, as you said in 2-3 years it should be mature enough to reach the height.
Danke Jochen! Ich habe gelächelt, als ich Ihr Video gesehen habe - du bist großartig vor der Kamera! :D
I'm wanting to make Bamboo tea with my bamboo - I need to go and check what type it is first. Wissen Sie etwas über Bamboo tea?
Vielen Dank, das geht runter wie Oel 🙂, und immer gerne Du sagen, ich habe so viele Jahre im Ausland gelebt das mir das Sie, auch nach so vielen Jahren wieder in DE, nicht wirklich steht. Bambus Tee habe ich nicht viel Ahnung ich weiß das es aus jungblättern gemacht wird aber welcher Bamus sazu genutzt wird muss ich jetzt auch mah rechaschieren 🙂
@@jochen.allardice-grein sorry I did say Du and Ihr and Sie, oops!! ha ha. :D
@BurstonBubbles you said sie which is the formal way of talking to people, I am more of a informal /easy going so the Du (how you talk to friends) is more my bag 🤣, all good I loved your comment and the tea idea is also something I am definitely looking into.
@@jochen.allardice-grein Yes, I realised that! It's habit from school!! ha ha :)
@@BurstonBubbles your German is really good, probably better than mine 😂
Big ass fucking leaves… 😅… I love this guy I subscribed to the shape the barrier like a heart video…
Thank you so much😅really appreciate it
Nice video. when did you plant your Phyllostachys Vivax Huangwenzhu? What size diameter canes has it produced? Have you see it run by many meters in colder Western Europe climates?
The plant has been in for 6 years, but it took a long time to start growing since I only got a 1 meter long rhizome of the plant, with no cains, after the “emergency” canes it produced it took another year before it started to produce canes over 2 meters. However now it has taken on speed and the spreading so far is 3- 5 Meters, where I dug up rhizomes, and they were thick rhizomes. The cases are 4 - 5 cm thick so not too impressive. But each year it is getting more powerful.
@@jochen.allardice-grein Thanks for your reply. I planted a 110 litre pot (semi mature) 2 years ago and have not seen any significant running so far. Your video is the first bamboo video I have seen that uses rhizome trenches. That is a great isea. I am excited to see if my one runs much. I have been told that this cultivar can produce 3 inch thick canes in colder climates after about 5 years. There are no new shoots yet this year, so I look forward to seeing what it produces this summer. Keep up the great work.
@@dustymeehan5984 You are very welcome, what I found with this one what some of the rhizomes are deeper than with other running bamboo, the deepest was 35 cm. which is deep, also don't forget that first year they are sleeping 3 year creeping and 5 year leaping, so your bamboo should star to creep now and get's faster each year.
@@jochen.allardice-grein Thanks a lot for your advice and for sharing your knowledge and experience. You are extremely knowledgeable about bamboo!!! 😊👍
@@dustymeehan5984 You are welcome 🙂
i chop half of my thumb ... anyway :) das ist deutscher humor
🤣🤣, der Deutsche humor ist einafch geil 😀😀 I was never aware how much you use your thumb, I am now though
