Burnaby, BC Canada.....suggestions?
Hello all....
I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction with regard to bamboo planting. I live in South Burnaby .....which over the last 7 years really hasn't received any snow to speak of or nightime winter temperatures below 32 degrees F. .....until this year...we've had some snow and some fairly cold days / nights recently (at the very *worst* perhaps 15 degrees Fahrenheit). Having said that, my guess the worst is over.....and the other 3 seasons tend to be fairly comfortable ....albeit a fair amount of rain. I've had some success over the last 2 years (since we've bought our house) with small windmill palms (1 in a container ....one planted in the ground).....and am now interested in continuing along with a "tropical" theme here in the Pacific Northwest. I've "lurked" around this newsgroup and am aware there are some people who post from Vancouver Island ....which isn't too far away. What I'm really after is some advice about what kind of bamboo might do well in my area .....where to procure it.....and initially, my thought is to plant in containers. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice. Keith Note ; if you'd like to have a dialogoue o/side of this newsgroup via email..... please reply to removing the obvious.
