Phyllostachys
varioauriculata - I imported
this species into the US from Europe in the fall of 2005 as a piece of bare
rhizome. I know next to nothing about this bamboo except that it should
be hardy to around +5F, perhaps a tad lower - time will tell and I'll keep
updating this page with my observations. I will container grow this
until the spring of 2008 so no hardiness observations will be possible for
quite some time yet. It did produce plants well from bare rhizome, suggesting
ease of propagation. I have learned that this bamboo is one of the
shortest Phyllostachys and could be desirable for shorter privacy screens.
In-ground now for 2 full years, this bamboo shows leaf hardiness to around
0F, perhaps slightly colder, so good hardiness potential. |
