Dead Bamboo
I have mentioned this before, but wonder how widespread this
occurrence is. My bamboo (phylostachys) which I have had for nearly 20 years, has died. It turned brown last Autumn and I realised it was flowering: not a good omen, as I have heard of this phenomenon of all plants of one species flowering and dying. My dughter-in-law has one, a piece off mine. It is gone the same way. I have also seen 3 more in the same condition. One in a private garden, one at Westonbirt and one at Forde Abbey, both the latter 2 were huge clumps, certainly older than my 20-year-old. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know whether they ever grow back? In the wild presumably they seed themselves, but I have cut mine to the ground as it looked so ugly. Pam in Bristol |
