| Phylostachys violescens, sometimes called Violet bamboo is always the first bamboo to send up shoots here at the nursery. Every year when winter is showing sings of ending I think to check the Moso for shoots. This is the largest of he cold hardy bamboos and I have several large groves of thie species to check. Of course then I think to check the Violescens and the shoots are always a few inches tall. No difference this year, there were a dozen or so large shoots, 5 to 7 inches in heigth. This means they were at least several days to a week old, shooting in February. This little grove has been here for years and is still quite small because of the early shooting. Most years a frost kills the new shoots or at least most of them. It would probably do much better a little further south. The reason I collected this bamboo was because of a picture showing a beautiful swatch of violet color on the base of the culms. I've never seen it but Steve Ray told me a few years that his grove was showing some violet color. Since my sample came from Steve I'll keep waiting. I've cleared a little around the grove to give it more sun so perhaps it will spread a little faster if it can put up more shoots. species. |
