Frosty Bamboo

An image of my bamboo... http://www.psfdev.com/frostyBamboo.jpg (91k)

Location: Lincoln, NE, USA
Camera: Canon G2

I planted it this spring and it is loving its location. With some luck (and
mulch), it will survive our winter, which is supposed to be the coldest &
with the heaviest snow on record (according to the Farmers Almanac).

Beautiful photo!

However, based on my dad's experience with the 'Godzilla of weeddom'
(Weedzilla?) many years ago, if it ~does~ thrive you will need little
short of a nuclear bomb to ever get rid of it... =^}

All you need now is a panda or two to eat it and keep it from
overspreading...:-)

Perty and inviting. I tempts me to get out my chainsaw but we'll let it bask
for a little while yet.

Actually, it is easier than you might think getting rid of bamboo. If you
keep cutting the shoots, the plant will run out of energy and the
rhizomes/plant will eventually die.

The chainsaw may be a bit of overkill at this point... It is a very young
plant, and the culms are only about 1/2" in dia., and 6' tall (if they
hadn't be cut for shipping). In 2-5 years when the plant matures, the culms
will be close to 2" in dia., and 20'-30' tall. Then you may want to think
about oiling up your chainsaw!
