Watering
Also, I plan to go by Anthony's Cummaquid Inn in Yarmouthport next
spring & ask if I could take a few new shoots, they have an excellent,
mature grove!

Bruce, Where did you get your bamboo on CC? I am in Eastham, which is
zone7, why do you say you are in zone 6?
Thanks,
Lynne

What type of bamboo is this?
Phyllostachys bissetii on Cape Cod, MA (Zone 6). I figured it would be
hard
to kill once established, but thought it might be over-sensitive so soon
after planting. I will water with wild abandon!
I have some clumping bamboo that I keep very wet, sometimes even in
standing water. It is very hot here in the summer time so I tend to
overwater the tropicals to try to be on the safe side. They seem to
love it.
Once again, it is hard to kill bamboo, many have tried :-)
