fargesia murielae, when do they start shooting?

15 years ago

With first warm days of the spring, things are finally happening in the yard. We had beautiful crocus and viburnum blooms this weekend. Now I am anxious to see when my fargesia murielae would start shooting. Anyone else grows this or any other fargesia bamboos?

I was wondering that myself today. I got several last summer and planted them last fall, so they're still settling in. I found out my F. Robustas (one is Robusta 'Green Screen')were shooting, even the one I planted last fall. Last year I counted at least 20 on my older Robusta. They live up to their name.

I have a F. Dracocephalia. It was the first one I planted. I have a Chusquea Culeou and another one called Thamnocalamus Tessellatis. The latter I got for a sunny spot.

I plan on going to a bamboo nursery this spring to get more. So far my favorite is the Robusta. I like its upright habit and its fast growth.

I took a look around my F.Murielaes today and they're now shooting. They're up about 1/2 an inch.
