- Different types of Bamboos I talk about in this video:
1) Phyllostachys vivax aureocaulis. Leans over.
2)Phyllostachys aureosulcata aureocaulis. Good for screening.
3) Fargesia nitida. Clump forming - best behaved.
4) Sasa palmata. Avoid!
5) Pseudosasa japonica. Avoid!

Really interesting guy. I’d like share a six pack of beer with him and watch him bounce around talking about bamboo. 😄😁
I haven't tried bamboo in this garden but after this I am tempted to do so to hide a couple of neighbors 'crap corners' (corners of their yard where they throw leftover kids toys, pots, garden decor, wood & lumber, bricks, fire pit waste, left over dirt etc.).
Thanks John.
Love this guy. Great passion
I love his energy. Very positive and entertaining. I want him to be my friend.
I love him. I am learning so much. So happy I found this channel
This guy is really clear with descriptions and "dos and don'ts!..and speaks so easy to Camera!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL discovered it today. Love the Irish in general and this guy is just so interesting I watched the whole video which rarely happens with me, I get bored easily with poor CZcams videos!!!!!!!
hi john my dad buys plants of you from nine mile stone, really nice video on my favourite plant the bamboo
Yeah John! Funny, impassioned, knowledgeable!
Great information just what I needed, thank you 👍
Good info! Learn something new when ever I watch this channel
Awesome title, Im here!.
Great video. New technical term 'too leany' 😀
Sir, you are very simple and informative. Thanks for your information. Amit kumar from India.
Great information, funny but wise man! Thank you so much. I am new to bamboos and this gave me a good start.
All the things I really needed to know about bamboo. Thank you so much!
Came here for information about my two favourite bamboos, both Sasa, haha. For me japonica and palmata are the most exotic looking bamboos. I'm really not doing well looking for some confirmation bias to keep them in the ground.
Great enthusiasm...very informative and I'm looking for tall clump forming bamboos Fargesia ...to screen a tall property but the music is driving me "Nut's".
My brother had a hell of a time getting rid of it, he must have had the runner kind. I personally like it . I love your videos
Thanks for this video John,I have problems with my bamboo but not now thanks to you.I enjoy all your helpful videos.
I prefer the dark green stem, more than the yellow one
This is brilliant info. Thanks.
You've grown so much John
Love the herb 😀
Thanks a very informative video.
Keep going John!💪🏾
Great and informative video. I laughed at the outro and subscribed! 😁
Hi John thanks again for the advise I replaced the Phyllostachys plants non-invasive Fargesia Robusta Clumpers thanks again for the advise and warning about runners. Thank you.!!!
Hey John
Can you say something about Black stemmed bamboo? Phyllostachys Nigra?
Thanks for the info mate
Love your video! Fun and really informative. I've just got my first bamboo plants today and excited to learn more about them . Hopefully they will do well for me in Sligo! Tks
i like the timber bamboo. i have ben growing it for 10 years. i have a large patch of it that i keep cleared out enough that you can walk through like a small forest. so far they get about the size of your uper arm and as tall as 30 to 40 feet. bamboo is an amazing and beautiful plant. i hope one day to have my entire property , all 5 acres covered in timber bamboo with my house in the middle. i live in the deep south in the U.S.i live in the country surounded by forest with no other houses with in several miles. and while it will grow ok here it grows very slow from year to year. each year i get about 40 new shoots and thats all. still i would not take anything for my bamboo.
Hi, Chris... I live in the south also in a remote area but not as remote as you. Prior to living in Appalachia, I lived in Fort Lauderdale. I would go on walks through the neighborhood and there was one house that had a huge stand of bamboo of the sort you wrote about. The stalks were very huge in height and also in girth. What I found so thrilling was the sound of the stalks colliding in a wind. Such a very comforting sound... Nature's gift to our senses. Thank you for your post as it brought back such wonderful memories.
nice im looking for some bamboo for shade mostly to put it in a large potter in the back porch and provide shade with maybe a hieight of 12 ft and that leans or arches so my birds cages and my coffee table can go under it. i like to think of runners as underground vines .
👍👍👍
Blessings From Birmingham England :)
AGreat video John.
Great video as always John---Nope, Bamboo is not the plant for a small garden
very good video
This video is excellent. I want to hang out with this guy.
Great information; thanks. I'm looking for a clumping bamboo that grows very tall 30 to 40 feet or higher. I live in east Texas near Jacksonville with iron red clay soil but good irrigation. Can you tell me what variety of clumping bamboo I can use??
Oh no :( I've just bought some pseudosasa japonica and it wasn't cheap either. It was to go against a huge 3m breeze block wall. Not sure what to do now...
I have arrow bamboo in garden if check running roots they not that in deep ground you can stop running roots go to big bamboo check everytime in my garden
Can I line the hole in which I'm planting the bamboo with landscaping fabric and keep it from spreading ?
Loves this guy, he is animated and interesting. It makes you want to listen and watch more. Sorry John, I am not a fan of bamboo, too invasive in a backyard garden.
You're good.
Both those Sasa Bamboos were planted in the garden of an old house we bought. We had a forest!
Hi John, I am in the process of cutting down a golden cypress as it is now growing into my neighbours garden. Can you advise me please as to what I can plant there that will not impinge on my neighbour
Hi John, great video, I have two Phyllostachys aurea bamboos in very large containers, what is the best fertiliser for them, the leaves are now turning papery thin and yellow.
MrUniman69 you may have planted it to deep in the soil. Bamboo plantings to best with a "mound planting " basicly a mound of dirt above the actual level ground.
Nitrogen fertilizer is best.. I recommend organic Mushroom compost.
Too late for my sasa ,it is running allover the gaff. Thanks
Wow, I had no idea the height of the bamboo is one season's growth (new shoots). Interesting.
What is it tree on the left ?
hi where can I get bamboo plants, Im in the North of Ireland, I want the clumping kind as they are not invasive.
What is that lovely purple shrub in front of the second bamboo?
Cotinus ( nickname smoke Bush) & I think that variety is called grace 👍
Which one tastes the best though. I like bamboo shoots.
Thanks for the information. You didn't comment on root barriers though?
Root barriers do work to a point, if installed properly. An entire clump can get congested if totally surrounded by a root barrier because there is nowhere for the new fresh shoots to go.
You are adorable!!
I like bamboo in my Chinese food
Cool and informative video
Do you have any Costa Rican Weeping Bamboo we can see?? Judi.
I really like your videos John, but the musak in the background is really distracting.
I think you mixed up Fargesia and Phylo a few times at the beginning there
Now I know I have something in common with a magpie 🤪❤️
Reminds me of Michael Scott from the office
Haha the first was not fargesia...
Great to watch but get rid of the elavator music 😂😂😂😂 it's a pain to listen to, prefer it without 😉
You said it's a Phyllostachys, then said it's a Fargesia! that sounds Tirish! Make yer moind ap noi!
Is he drunk?
Bamboo is the worst idea ever. If I ever moved (just to get away from the bamboo here) I would never ever buy a house that had bamboo or even if the neighbor had bamboo.
