Pseudosasa japonica

I guess the price was right. That's why I purchased a bamboo that was clearly not hardy in my zone. However I wanted to have bamboo that represented as many different genera as possible.

When the plant arrived in the Spring of 2010 it was not very impressive. I grew it in a pot and it sized up pretty well.

Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'spectabilis'

Since I seem to be too busy to make any posts during the summer, I guess I can use my spare time in the winter to blog about the summer.

I guess I'll start with my most successful bamboo so far and probably my favorite. Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'spectabilis'.
