Phyllostachys aurea 'Albovariegata'

#bamboo is looking nice and healthy.

@debrascott yes debra, i think they call them clumpers, ive seen some huge one, that put new shoots up everywhere.

Gorgeous bamboo Dave 😍 it's plumped out lovely since you put them in the ground 👍

These seem happy enough in the ground 😊

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co does this stay contained by your block? It's beautiful!

@tinaaune it is the clumping variety so shouldnt get to rampant. Ive had it in a big pot for about 5 years and only put it in the ground last summer. See what happens this year 😮

Is this one at it's peak height? @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co thanks for the info😁

@tinaaune think it might go a bit taller yet , now its in the ground.

Wow they've filled out great Dave 💚👍

Enjoying the sun 🌞

Took these out of pots earlier in the year. Seem to be enjoying a bit of freedom.

They are looking very happy and healthy Dave 💚😍💚

They grow pretty fast 😊 So be ready with a ladder

No 2 in the ground 🤗

Root ball from bamboo no 2. I water these religiously every day, and it was as dry as a bone .

Im sure u are informed on #bamboo but just a small story of cost of #bamboogrowth My son has had the challenge of cutting bamboo down just to get to areas of the property that was inherited to them by daughter-in-laws father. I don't know y the gentleman would plant it with it being so #aggressive #damaging and #invasive It has grown so much it is causing damage to parts of the ⛅ rm on bk of the home.

I'm fully aware of how quickly it can grow, I'll be keeping a close eye on it, and it's well away from the house, I don't think there quite as invasive here as they are with you. I hope 😂. I've got a good chain saw if needed 😊

That's one done 🤗.

After 8 years of being in a pot, the bamboos are going in the ground 😮 .

You are brave Dave 😁

Do you have lots of space?....I've have four pots of bamboo for 3 years now and they've filled their pots

Morning Dave, good luck with that 😊😊😊

@belindah @jaynehynesburton , we're on the move in a couple of years so just keen to see how they get on in the ground.

@pelly morning jane. Probably a bit foolish but the bamboo should enjoy the fredom 🤗

They can run along your lawn

If it's clumping bamboo it will only spread a little but bush out lovely Dave,if it's a runner it will 🏃🏃🏃😁👍

@daisy-jane let's hope it's a clumper jane 😂.

It's classed as category 2 invasive in florida in America but in our colder climate it's classed as clumping but there is alot of varieties that come under golden bamboo so if it's the more common one you have it should be fine 😁👍

I bought a large clump of Fargesia Rufa bamboo a couple of months ago it thrives best in shade or semi shade so is ideal for my shady spot at the back of the garden and its totally winter hardy and reaches a height of around 200cm,love bamboo in the garden it makes a statement and serves a purpose if using it for a screen 😊👍

Got to find a new place for these. I'm really tempted to put them in the ground and let them do there own thing.

Would love to know how big these would grow if they were in the ground ?

Some varieties are two stories high...

I've taken canes out that are easily 18 foot tall this year @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Huge! 🙈

@brightcolours @carolgs @rachelbrooks I think it's fair to say after your comments, these two will be staying in their pots.

You could plant them in the ground in their pots and it will limit their growth...

I have just bought some golden bamboo for my garden. Do you know if it prefers a particular compost. I am keeping it in containers. Thanks!

@lme11 I'm pretty sure I've got them in a multi purpose compost and just give them a liquid feed once a fortnight Lisa. Perhaps sam @icedance could advise you better. Good luck.

Hi Lisa @lme11 and David tea break at work time 🙂 multi purpose is fine or you could add in some John innes no 3 if they are are to be in a pot long term , a liquid feed once a fortnight is brilliant wish everyone did that for their bamboos in pots 👍 in the ground expect them to March across the garden unless restrained by a specialist membrane .. hope all that helps

I think the bamboos enjoyed the rain yesterday .

They look fabulous @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co very impressive 😍

Looking great 👌🏻

Love it🤗

Gorgeous @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co 📸💖
