Choosing a bamboo variety | Volunteer Gardener

[@tearsbeers]

I'm starting a collection,I have Fishing Pole,Coi and Black Bamboo. I want to get Gray Bamboo next

[@stephenrafter1980]

I love a screen bamboo and how it moves in the wind when it goes thick stems. About 7 or 8 foot in height. Put solar lights shining on the bamboo at night. Oh it's beautiful.

We have a bunch of bamboo behind our house in the neighbors yard and I always wondered why it hadn’t spread to our yard till I learned it spreads underground not from seeds lol and the gravel road is too wide for it to jump to our yard so I wanna transplant some to start a natural privacy fence because our dozens of Leland cypresses that we plants years ago and are over 10 ft tall have been dying the last few years and our natural privacy fence is now almost gone and I want to replace it with bamboo. It seems to be really disease and pest resistant and looks so amazing!

Very helpful. I didn’t realize that it can be trimmed

[@breesechick]

This is cool! I e been in a bamboo forest beyond a neighbor had it as a privacy fence. I admired it.

[@beslandczyk]

It looks fantastic!

[@christiandelosangeles1630]

Hello May i ask what's the name of that variety is, the first fence bamboo

[@oOILLUMINATINGOo]

Very informative 👍Thank You & Stay Blessed.🙏⛅🕊💨💨💨

Thanks for the video! I’ve always loved bamboo, and wanted to plant for privacy, but was scared it would become too invasive.

[@Kurohitsuji365]

They are low maintenance, can be used for food, make structures and they last about 100 years, then they will blossom before they die. Never saw a bamboo flower though.

Is it very messy? We want to plant around a pool for privacy. Thank you

I’m in zone 7b in Idaho where we can get scorching summers and below 0 for a few weeks in winter. I need to replace a hedge of arbs and this sounds like just the ticket. Which species would be best? We need about a 10 to 20 ft height.

[@dandavatsdasa8345]

How deep under ground can a bamboo send out its roots? Can seeds from bamboo get distributed past its immediate growth? Neighborhoods and communities can get extremely concerned about a bamboo's growth potential. Young bamboo shoots can be edible, but poisonous if not processed correctly. From what I can understand the bamboo can be good for fuel, but needs to be crushed before burning. Invasive Species can be a great asset if managed adequately. Thank you for sharing informative videos!

Here's the segment we recorded on the same day "Bamboo: Attributes and Containment" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hImQZIpoiZiol8U

[@dandavatsdasa8345]

@@volunteergardener Thanks! Presumably blocking material of some kind at least one foot deep would block the bamboo roots from spreading. Another video recommended cutting the bamboo to the ground and then covering it with something, even plastic, to block out the sun. Some people were complaining about acreage of trees being mowed to the ground for lumber sales. Perhaps bamboo forest could be planted to replace the trees. Bamboo seems very useful if managed well. Your videos are very helpful!

How long can a bamboo plant live? I mean it seems it can die after 5 years but then a new one shoots up? but how long can this process last?

[@inigomontoya8943]

Our best bet here is Native river cane.

[@Tourettes0]

what kind is being talked about at 5:50?

[@janrega3762]

P.aureasulcata spectabilis

[@sanjavu2143]

my guess is Phyllostachys vivax 'Aureocaulis'

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Don't understand why we don't use this more in manufacturing materials for homes? This stuff is TOUGH and quickly renewable

[@dave434]

What is the best for shade??

[@rudygrissom5871]

I'm most interested in the big bamboo used in construction 4inches round...nothing was said about those.

[@LULC0759]

How is it controlled…that’s the biggest issue I hear about & does that have to be cut down every year.

[@jamesjohnson427]

It’s hollow you could only use it as particle board

[@Ryan-dr5cr]

What’s the tall yellow kind?

[@ryanoncrypto800]

You ever find an answer?

[@destinyandpurpose]

They have a website Almaville Bamboo Co. I believe that one to be called Yellow Groove.

[@sanjavu2143]

my guess is Phyllostachys vivax 'Aureocaulis'

[@gonchawanchannel7874]

อยากได้มาปลูกที่ประเทศไทย

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

never mentions any bamboo names

[@dddduu300]

Well, this didn't talk about clumpjng and running.

[@MVAIR]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5DNlnmJlr6DaLcsi=dTEoRJWlkKiG8Jwa This is a machine invented to pull out Bambusa bambos / bambusa arundinacea (locally in India known as katang baans)

[@JohnDoe-z2r]

Video's supposed to be about variety and not even one species mentioned. So bad

[@ThreeRunHomer]

Bamboo is like vines … I don’t want anything to do with either of them.
