I have some beautiful clumping bamboo plants in my yard that are tropical plants that should not be doing well in my climate (Zone 8 area). My temps get to 20 degrees sometimes and the plant leaves will burn a bit, but these plants are huge and recover quickly. These are great plants to have when you garden, since you can build so many things with bamboo (trellises, birdhouses, etc). I have beautiful yellow/green culms and dark green. Love my bamboo!

Hello. Two years ago I planted 7 bamboo trees along my fence. I was told by the nursery that they were clumping bamboos. To make story short 2 years later i found out they were running bamboos because there were tons of new culms popping up my yards. I rototiller the yard and dug up the stalks. I used vinegar, salt and dish soap to kill the remaining culms. It's pretty much contained. My question is how long do i have to wait to actually know if all the rhizomes are dead? Will they come and grow again? Thanks.
@myboringchannel

Good question. I don’t know. If you dug them up within two years you probably got them all. I started out with running bamboo and I kept it about two years. It wasn’t too hard to get rid of. I was wondering the same thing but if you do a thorough job of digging them out you’re probably good.
@ameliawest8896

@@myboringchannel thanks for the quick response. It's only been a month when this happened. Everyday i check for new shoots. And everytime i see them i dig them out right away. Their stalks were cut up in segments due to rototilling the yard. But some of the stalks still have live rhizomes and that's what I'm still dealing right now. Not much though. They're kind of yellowish so it means they're dying for lack of water or maybe the mix vinegar and salt I've been pouring. I cut the culms then pour the mix vinegar into it's tube. In that way the vinegar will run thru it's stalks killing the entire growth. I'm just afraid that if i plant new plants or grass back and start watering that area, bamboos may come growing again. They're just grass or weeds. You start watering them, feeding them, and they'll come back to life all over again. Maybe i should wait for a year?

What was the reason why you replace your spectabilis running into a clumping? We had clumping before and after 6 years, it was declining and the middle part looks dead. I live in zone 9 btw. Did you put a barrier around your clumping? And running as well? I am jealous at how beautiful your grove looks. I am now having spectabilis running because it was too painful to dig the clumping and cut the culm to maintain it. Was your running bamboo tougher to cut?

I have a clumping bamboo in front of the kitchen window to screen a viw of the neighbors. Not sure what species it is. I have had it for about 6 years. It thrives on neglect. I rarely water it and only fertilized it once or twice. Wish I new what species it is.

Hello. Two years ago I planted 7 bamboo trees along my fence. I was told by the nursery that they were clumping bamboos. To make story short 2 years later i found out they were running bamboos because there were tons of new culms popping up my yards. I rototiller the yard and dug up the stalks. I used vinegar, salt and dish soap to kill the remaining culms. It's pretty much contained. My question is how long do i have to wait to actually know if all the rhizomes are dead? Will they come and grow again? Thanks.

Their stalks were cut up in segments due to rototilling the yard. But some of the stalks still have live rhizomes and that's what I'm still dealing right now. Not much though. They're kind of yellowish so it means they're dying for lack of water or maybe the mix vinegar and salt I've been pouring. I cut the culms then pour the mix vinegar into it's tube. In that way the vinegar will run thru it's stalks killing the entire growth. I'm just afraid that if i plant new plants or grass back and start watering that area, bamboos may come growing again. They're just grass or weeds. You start watering them, feeding them, and they'll come back to life all over again. Maybe i should wait for a year?

I have arborvitaes that are not really growing against my back fence do you think I can plant some bamboo in between to fill it out for privacy fence?

You can. But be sure you know how much the bamboo will spread. Even clumping bamboo spreads.

Do you fertilize your bamboo? Composted sheep manure works great or any high nitrogen lawn fertilizer will also work well

Nope. Never have. When is the best time? Do you have a specific fertilizer you recommend? What about the typical Scott’s stuff I use in the rest of the lawn?

@@myboringchannel if using composted manure I do it in the fall since it is slower release. As for lawn fertilizer in the early spring before it starts to shoot. As long as it just fertilizer and not weed and feed or anything with weed control in it you should be good

It might if I didn’t have a barrier in the ground. If you go back to my original bamboo video you will see the installation of my barrier.

I enjoyed the video, thanks! I am looking at these 2 species for my horse trough planters (2'x4'x2', galvanized). I am curious what you used for a root barrier? I have a clumping bamboo in front of the kitchen window to screen a viw of the neighbors. Not sure what species it is. I have had it for about 6 years. It thrives on neglect. I rarely water it and only fertilized it once or twice. Wish I new what species it is.

It's hard to say. I'm not sure how far that particular variety spreads and I'm not sure how close to your fence you're planting it.
Hi, now correct me if I'm wrong. I just ordered 10 Campbell and am changing my plans as I'm advised they like shade. But looking at what you have done it looks like you planted in "full sun." Am I right? Your thoughts?

It may depend on where you live and how intense the sun is. I live right next to Portland, Oregon and these plants thrive here. They are in full sun. No shade. I water them pretty heavily in the summer and they do very well.

@@myboringchannel ;) I ordered mine yesterday (10). I'm in Boise (zone7a) in talking to The Bamboo Garden there concern was the sun. That concern changed my plan just a little. Doing a hedge street side but thinking I'll back the first part of the hedge up more under the canopy of my American Sycamore. Then next year evaluate how well they have done and if I can expand out into the sun or plant some additional shade.
