Much fatter culms than before and presumably more height. I think ours is pushing 30 feet. It gets watered once a week through a soaker hose. I don't remove the leaf droppings so there's a couple of feet of mulch.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-32273268285438552532016-09-12T10:04:47.794-07:002016-09-12T10:04:47.794-07:00I am the person that planted those bamboo. They we...I am the person that planted those bamboo. They were planted as 15 gallons in about'07, give or take a year. Oldhamii has difficulty getting much taller than 22 feet in Davis due to its relatively weak culmination when growing an Davis<br />' high winds during its production season. I was initially concerned with these due to their exposure along the street but they have done well. I would be happy to answer any questions about them.

That appears to be the potential in our area but I have yet to see any that tall. Still, even at 20 ft they look impressive--and, as Mark said--very tropical.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-8187473034451728402012-01-03T07:04:15.984-08:002012-01-03T07:04:15.984-08:00Those bamboos look so tropical!

They actually look just a bit taller than your plants. So maybe... 20'? So double the height of the existing plants -- now that's a privacy hedge!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
