Bamboo!!!
Welcome to Taroandti.com. I am a big bamboo fan. There are no end of uses for bamboo, it’s easy to grow, with care fairly easy to contain, and is just pretty to behold. I like giant boos and landscape boos and will focus primarily on those. I don’t like clumping bamboos and will not write much if any about that.
My ultimate goal is to frame my greenhouse and tropical/sub-tropical beds with a towering bamboo forest. Giant Grey Henon, Vivax and perhaps Moso will play a part. I have some very young Moso seedlings and Henon and will soon have Vivax as well. It takes a long time for large bamboo to get large, but it’ll be a lot of fun along the way.
As a fringe benefit - I really like bamboo shoots. To compliment my other bamboos, I plan on planting some sweet-shoot bamboo - a bamboo that produces shoots that require less cooking to get rid of bitterness.
Stay tuned - lotsa boo fun ahead…
Stumble it!
