Bamboos:Native to China, Bissetii bamboo (Phyllostachys bissetii) is a popular running bamboo great for making a beautiful evergreen screen or hedge in the United States. Bissetii is fast-growing, low-maintenance bamboo with an arching habit. Its leaves are up to 4.7 inches long and o.6 inches broad and are 1 to 2 inches in diameter. It can grow in a wide variety of many planting sites and soil conditions. Bissetii is tolerant of adverse growing conditions, such as wind, cold, and drought, as well as heat and humidity. Harsh environments like seashore and slope, as well as urban environments, are suitable for Bissetii. Seed FormationThe flowers of a bamboo plant resemble a head of wheat. Pollination can occur with the assistance of wind or insects, although some species are self-pollinating. Several weeks may pass between pollination and the time the seeds set. Mature seeds appear dry and brown, often resembling grains of rice. Giant bamboo plants, such as Melocanna baccifera, can produce seeds as large as small pears. GerminationBamboo seeds gradually lose viability, making it important to sow them soon after harvest. Germination rate and time depends on the variety of bamboo. Many seeds germinate within one to three weeks, although some can take longer. These plants prefer slightly damp, well-drained soil. Slightly cover the seeds with a very fine layer of soil. Do not allow the soil to dry out during germination. Alternative to Seed PropagationProfessional bamboo growers usually propagate new growth by taking vegetative cuttings, rather than waiting for maturation and seed production. Many varieties of bamboo produce underground runners. Cutting through the runners and transplanting removed segments provides a quick alternative to seed germination. Digging up clumping bamboos and dividing the underground rhizomes, as well as taking branch and culm cuttings, also provide methods of obtaining additional plants from a single specimen. Type: Running USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 4 through 10 Light conditions: full sun or part shade Height: 8 to 40 feet (depending on location and growing conditions) Culm Diameter: 1 to 2 inches Suitable for containers Care Phyllostachys bissetii is exceptionally adaptable and requires little to no maintenance. Bissetii can grow in full sun or part shade and tolerates moist to dry soils. It is suitable to grow in urban places as Bissetii is moderately tolerant of metropolitan pollution and has a tough root system. Although Bissetii tolerates most soil and sunlight conditions, it prefers moist, well-drained, organic-rich soil that is crumbly in texture. It will grow faster and be more luscious and healthy if it grows in ideal conditions. Bissetii is one of the most cold-hardy species growing in North America withstanding temperatures down to -15 degrees F. The root system when mulched properly will handle temps down to -25 degrees F. Fertilizing Bamboo grows fine without fertilization but it responds very well to it – feeding can encourage faster growth and more luscious foliage.
