Bamboo Garden

[Clark]

Thanks, I never thought of combining black mondo grass with bamboo. Great look!
Love the Japanese forest grass too (hakonechloa macra aureola), I put this in
front with maiden grass (Miscanthus sinesis). Not popular at all here.

I didn't realize this was your place, thanx for sharing.

Very beautiful photos, Hakone. I particularly like the Black Bamboo (phyllostachys nigra).

 

[SlipperFan]

Lovely photos! Thanks for giving us a tour of your environment -- gorgeous!

U can grow bamboo anywhere!

Not sure that is completely true. I have a Fargesia rufa 'Green Panda' (not sure if the 'Green Panda' is a clonal or cultivar name, or just the 'brand'). We'll see if it survives.

What I mean by bamboo, though is really the kind that grows really tall, and the stalks look like what you typically think of when you think of bamboo - like all the Phyllostachys pics Hakone just posted. Those we can't grow here.

Hakone, those are exquisite bamboos, and Cyps, thanks for posting. Where is this garden? it is beautifully done. A lot of work has gone into that garden.

Kevin, you are right, none of the Phyllostachys would likely survive without extra protection in your climate. You have a small shot at getting Phyllostachys nuda to survive, but your growing season is likely too short to mature new growths sufficiently before the winter sets in again. Without time to mature, you don't get the winter hardiness. The warm side of USDA Zone 4 is the limit for most bamboos.

Leo, that is my backyard

Great choice of plants Hakone! It makes me feel right at home:rollhappy: It looks like you have a wonderful garden there, so nicely cared for.

Indeed! Amazing how many of those are popular garden plants here in Japan. Hakone, you may want to post over at this forum since many folks are bamboo enthusiasts and would no doubt love to see your garden:

Growing on the Edge

Just how big is your garden anyway?

 

[Hera]

I continue to be completely impressed!

I continue to be completely impressed!

I agree. So much thought and care into the placement of all the color, texture, size, etc!
