My poor heart... knocking down shoots that size!! If you're willing to dig up the shoot with parts of the root/rhizome Id certainly be willing to compensate you! That is such an excellent personal grove you have there!! Im in the east bay and more than willing to do the work and come to you!
@@growproteas1148 vivax is also timber bamboo . It is strictly green. But in a good part of the video lady standing near blue bamboo. Both of that bamboo are great. Iam from europe. Have only small ones. But al of that global heeting.... hope that once theyl grow as yours.
Hello, I am wondering when starting new grove, from rhizomes, what is the growth rate over time, and what age would they be expected to reach a height of 20 feet? Thank you!
it depend of the specie, weather, soil etc... but i'd say 3-4 years. Vivax grow big and high fast but they're weak, they have very thin walls so they're pretty much useless, they just look good and impressive and are good to eat.
I’d love to have a bamboo garden for my property. What would your advice be for the bamboo garden not to spread into my neighbor’s property? Without proper maintenance, would you say bamboo garden could evolve into an invasive species plant?
depends what variety you purchase as some grow in clumps and don't spread - if you buy the spreading type then you would need a 2-3 foot barrier in the ground - they make plastic barriers that are easy to install
I wonder if bamboo could possibly grow in St George Utah??? I want to grow a whole huge bamboo forest here! I don't know why I have not considered this before!
@@growproteas1148 to me it is more surely Phyllostachys bambusoides. A much more robust and tough timber bamboo. P.vivax is largely more fragile in terms of mecanic resistance and not that stiff like your. The shoots of P.vivax can possibly be eaten raw, they are far less acrid than that of bambusoides. In fact P.vivax is actually considered as a vegetable in China, where it is especially cultivated for that purpose. Try to take a bite of those shoots to test their acridity ! 🤓
They must sound wonderful on a breezy day
yes wind makes a wonderful sound
@@growproteas1148If you ever have a spare 15 minutes to leave a camera/gopro outside on a breezy day to record, I'd play that video on repeat !!
Wow ! The size and the growth rate is insane!
Thanks!

Great bamboo garden. Real fantasy how old are they. Bamboo on the first part of the video is a Blue timber bamboo, Phyllostachys Edulis.
I'm told it's vivax?? thoughts?

@@Zeljko-p6o the bamboo starts out green - then as it ages over the years it turns grey color - thanks!
wow! cute
thanks!
Thanks for sharing! How often do you water your grove?
in summer 3 days a week -
Hello, I am wondering when starting new grove, from rhizomes, what is the growth rate over time, and what age would they be expected to reach a height of 20 feet? Thank you!
sorry not something I can answer - my grove was present when I got here - but it does grow very fast
it depend of the specie, weather, soil etc... but i'd say 3-4 years.
Vivax grow big and high fast but they're weak, they have very thin walls so they're pretty much useless, they just look good and impressive and are good to eat.
Very nice grove. They have no side barcnhes or thorns. I wish i can have some too.
I have some growing in pots...
Wonderful
thanks
Young bamboo is soft and can be eaten. I have seen several videos of how it is prepared and eaten 🙂
thanks

give it a try - see what happens
I am 2hrs away in Brentwood. Can I come and buy one of you pots, with it already growing.
yes - you can email me at nubar111@mycci.net
What exact kind of Bamboo is this? can they get bigger?
this groove is full grown - the shoots get bigger as they grow - it is Vivax bamboo
@@growproteas1148 Awesome thanks! I think what I'm looking for is Dendrocalamus giganteus (Giant Bamboo) which should get even bigger :)
Can you use the shoots to trellis other plants at the same time
What zones can these grow in best
I know it's good to a -5 degrees - so can grow over most of the united states
so technically a lawn
& a no-mow lawn at that
Do you ever get asked to sell your giant bamboo? Would love to buy so.e sprouts? I'm in Martinez ca,would love to buy some from you.
I have some in pots I can sell... but too heavy to ship
i hope mine grow that tall
It will if it has enough room
please some one write exact name of this veritey of bamboo.
turns out to be phyllostachys vivax
I’m surprise you guys don’t harvest those new shoots and sale them or eat them.
yes - i haven't found a way to sell them
can i get sprouts?
sprouts won't grow when cut... are you looking to grow plants or eat the sprouts?
Where can I buy some for up north
I have some in pots growing - I would search the internet
How invasive is Vivax?
It is very invasive... I have 3 foot deep wall to keep it contained. No problems
Hii sir variety bamboo name please
phyllostachys vivax

thanks! - that is the question bambusoides vs vivax - the pinned comment above thinks vivax??? @@veji4288
Phyllostachys vivax
I think you are right!
Phyllostachys bambusoides Madake Japanese timber bamboo.
The shoots are acrid by this species and should be boiled many times before you can eat them.
aww man don't toss dem away they're extremely tasty just stir fry them!!!
you guys just tossed away $90 worth of groceries in this video
@@bonholio0o thanks - but not sure what to do with them
