I have just purchased a ginger bulb and would like some advice on how to
grow it, I get some bad frosts at times but can put it under trees, does
it
like shade and should I wait till winter is past before planting it out,
some advice as to the size it will grow and it's requirements will be
appreciated..
Sunshine.
It grew down my place in the South Coast under light shade of spotted gum.
It did not reach the size of the plants I grew at Ourimbah, in a sheltered
spot. However I must say that there it took over rather a bit. The way it
grew there reminded me of bamboo! enough said! There it was good for
producing vast quantities of fibrous mulch, but even there it jammed my
rover mulching producer very frequently so I gave up.

I am now fighting blackberries with grazon in Bodalla NSW..
