39:41 The rhizomes for the clumping bamboo are spreading 8-10 feet away from the culms (But they dont produce shoots, they only absorb water and nutrients) so only watering at the bottom of the culms is why it aborts new shoots, you need to water a bigger area around it imo

Thanks, I've added much more drippers over time and everything is thriving. Thanks for watching.

Thanks :)

Sun and heats not the issue. It’s the lack of water. This bamboo thrive in Indonesia and Philippines on 150 inches of rain. The heat and sun in Mindanao is relentless but they also get months where in pours rain every day.

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

I understand your logic, but the Santa Ana weather and very low humidity is a HUGE factor that these plants have a hard time adapting to...

[@TheChenny73]

@@WhatPlantisthatPaul Yeah I bet those winds can dry a plant out quick.

Hi… So I spoke with Bamboo Sorcery and they said (today is 5/12/2023) their P Nigra has begun flowering and that it will inevitably die. I’m on the East Coast and my black bamboo has not started flowering yet. Has yours?

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

Hi! Bummer, Mine have not started blooming yet. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if I start to see it bloom.

Thanks for the scientific names written in timestamps!

Phyllostachys nigra likes shade, that's why so many leaves have brown tips, 10:42.

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

How is it?

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

Great video Paul.

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

Thanks 👍

[@jamestropicals8262]

easier to grow bamboo from a rhizome then from seed

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

I agree... or from digging up some culms with roots.

Really cool! I’ve tried to germinate bamboo seeds but they won’t sprout :(

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

[@lionolee5480]

Most bamboo will grow in the super cold area you should be fine growing it there

[@stk.plantation2912]

the bamboo is very good

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

Yes!

[@chancetrombley3114]

You should get arundinaria gigantea, it's native to the u.s it's just hard to find

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

What a pretty variety. It's on my wishlist. Thanks!

[@MrChangeordie]

I always wondered how many acres ur on Paul, cool long video 😎👍 be nice to see a tour of your property.. just bought some land in so cal and love the bamboo videos...any worry of snakes on the property?

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

Thanks, A tour is a great idea, but it would be soooo long :) I've had quite a few kings, gophers, and rattle snakes. I move the venomous ones in a cooler far away. I think there is a den nearby because I keep finding baby rattlesnakes!

[@TheMultisportGeek]

What do you recommend for a simple screening fence. I’m looking for a clumping variety that’s about 10’-15’ tall. I live in the Bay Area.

[@kimif127]

hey which the fastest growing bamboo?

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

Good question. It depends on many factors.. What is your climate/ growing zone?

[@kimif127]

@@WhatPlantisthatPaul hey i live in Europe, Hungary and Denmark 5-6 temperature zone ;) :D

[@tommac8602]

Why do you pour tree and shrub instead of spraying the shoots?

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

I've tried everything to kill them, but Bayer Tree and Shrub is the only thing that kills them all.

Timor black?

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

I don't have that one yet! It's on the wishlist.
