Although if he truly likes bamboo he'll be back because nobody else in our neighborhood has bamboo.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-63818823446867043092012-07-15T10:34:12.843-07:002012-07-15T10:34:12.843-07:00The bamboos make the front yard look cool even on ...The bamboos make the front yard look cool even on a hot day.

The oldhamii started out as a 5-gallon plant about 5 ft tall, the Alphonse Karr was a mature division I got from a local guy (the clump was at least two feet across).<br /><br />Sean Bigley AKA Madman Bamboo confirms that oldhamii thrives on heat (they use it for landscaping in Las Vegas). Without 95°F days it may not grow all that tall in San Mateo. <br /><br />Would love to see photos of your Dendrocalamus minor 'Amoenus' and Bambusa emeiensis. Those are beautiful bamboos. Will check your blog later today.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-58634840936158099082012-07-15T10:28:25.709-07:002012-07-15T10:28:25.709-07:00Me too!Me too!Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-26557835214047270942012-07-15T07:44:43.028-07:002012-07-15T07:44:43.028-07:00Cats love bamboo!

(They like eating the leaves too I've found).<br /><br />I'm not going to comment on the bamboos in your garden, because I'm jealous of anybody who can grow the subtropical clumpers.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-73985529978930650042012-07-15T07:29:15.120-07:002012-07-15T07:29:15.120-07:00Hot damn!

How old is your oldhamii ...Hot damn! Pun intended.<br /><br />How old is your oldhamii when compared to your Alphonse Karr? Because on my property, they're about tied for culm height (although not thickness). They both get similar amounts of water and light. Maybe this is a San Mateo vs. Davis phenomenon; even in the summer, we often have fog until 10:00ish and most summer days are mid-70s. It wouldn't surprise me if oldhamii is 'more tropical' than AK and likes as much heat as it can get.<br /><br />That's a pretty wild culm on your textilis! Mine is really tall and slender, in contrast. Probably the skinniest height relative to width that I have.<br /><br />You're inspiring me to go take some photos of my D. minor amoenus and B. emiensis today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723879419737384746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-87294632496889184182012-07-14T13:35:54.781-07:002012-07-14T13:35:54.781-07:00Love these shots of your beautiful garden!
