Default Is my bamboo dying?


"tonymurphy30" wrote in message

I recently (late April) planted 3 large bamboo's in my garden, they had
been stood in the pots they were bought in for around 3 months.

IF you look at the picture you can see two are looking fine but the
central plant is looking a little worse for wear.

They have all been planted exactly the same, with the same slow release
fertiliser and compost.

They are very well watered and are in a south facing garden.

Could this be just temporary or has it gone to the great garden centre
in the sky?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't think it's unusual for newly repotted bamboo to llook like the
middle pot -- keep in mind it may take a year for new shoots to show up, so
don't throw it away until at least another growing season has gone by --

The first year it sleeps
the second year it creeps
the third year it leaps --
