When I was designing my “Japanese inspired” sculpture garden, I had big plans for bamboo. Two years of sketching, four dog-eared books on bamboo, and several trips to the Bamboo Garden Nursery had left me with a raging obsession. However, when it came time to hire a professional Japanese gardener and landscaper to realize my design, my plans hit a snag: a refusal to plant bamboo!
From what I can piece together from this man of few words, there had been clients, who (like me) protested that we understood the dangers, that we would be diligent in our bamboo management. Maybe they were angry ex-clients… I’ll never know.
So, since I’m a complete gardening novice, I decided I wouldn’t push the issue. This man knows what he’s doing, I reasoned. I’ll compromise and create a bamboo garden in pots. Today, I have nine temperate and mostly shade-loving bamboo plants living happily in the garden on the North side of the house.
Clockwise from bottom right:
Pleioblastus pygmaeus
Pleioblastus argenteostriatus ‘Akebono’
Thamnocalamus crassinodus ‘Gosainkund’
Pleioblastus pygmaeus ‘Distichus’
You might be thinking: ‘obsessed’ is such an overused word… why did she choose it? Well, you know you’re obsessed when you’re cooing over the babies.
July is prime time for new Thamnocalamus shoots. They come up with red and fuzzy sheathing, which opens to expose a green culm with a baby blue ring under the nodes. The culms mature to a yellow color with red tints. The plant in this picture has two green shoots, which are over a month old, and three red shoots, which are about a week or so old. My second plant of this cultivar has two two-week-old shoots, and one shoot that died at about three days. (It’s tip grew straight into the side of the pot.)
And that’s how I know I’m obsessed!
