PHYLLOSTACHYS BAMBUSOIDES SLENDER CROOKSTEM

 

20' height, Sun, 0 degrees F Minimum, Runner.

Phyllostachys genticulata.

        Slender culms with curved offsets at the base.  The lowest 2 or 3 sections of the culms are curved by as much as an inch on the mature plants.

        David Andrews reports minor leaf damage at 9 degrees, minor culm damage at 0 degrees & minor rhizome damage at -8 degrees F.

        In 1990 we made numerous culm divisions in #1 gallon pots in our greenhouse & all failed.
