Under favorable development conditions (i.e. climatic conditions), it reaches a height of 40 m.Bamboo ears tend to be harder than wood. Bamboo has established itself almost everywhere outside of Europe.So far, almost 1.5 thousand species of this supertraval have been counted.Most are found in China and Japan.
Bamboo - developmental features
Bamboo grows extremely fast and dense. It reaches its full height in just 7 years.Bamboo is evergreen and is winter hardy in most species.In some species, flowering has the unpleasant ending of ending the life of the plants.
Bamboo stand
Bamboo feels best in sunny to semi-shaded places, rather sheltered from the wind.The substrate should be loose, permeable and humus-rich.
Planting bamboo
Bamboos are planted at the beginning of spring or in June, at intervals of about 2 meters, never too deep. Most species are highly spreading, so a barrier should be dug around the plants.
Bamboo - care
Feeding is only used on soils poor in food, once or twice a year.No pruning necessary. They are used only when planting is very dense (then we make one cut between May and June). In winter, the shoots may dry out.
Bamboo - application
Large species look best in solitary plantings.Smaller plants are perfect for hedges and green masking walls. For hedge planting, it is recommended, among others P. bissetii.
Tip
Species of the genus Fargesia, unlike species of the genus Phyllostachys, do not form runners.
