bamboo

**badkuk** · September 9th, 2013 02:36 PM

Hi peeps,

i'm planning to get a few for the house, gawin kong hedge. Some questions:

1. What species of bamboo ang pwede?
2. Ok ba ang golden bamboo? Pwede ba sa paso lang? i can add some posts to brace the stems midway.
3. Hard to maintain ba siya, in terms of trimming? i heard these things grow like crazy
4. Would a small hedge help make the air a bit cleaner?
5. The nearest place to get bamboo would be cartimar. Kaso wala akong idea kung pano iuwi, it won't fit in the car. OK lang ba putulin para kumasya sa kotse? How long before it grows back again?
6. Yung pinatputulan, tutubo ba yan if i stick it into the ground, or talagang via runners lang siya dumadami?

tia

We have bamboo at the perimeter of house. I think it is Japanese bamboo. It's not hard to maintain. We don't even water it too much but you need to trim the lower portion of the trunk when a stem grows para sa upper portion lang yung leaves. There's a type kasi that grows tall and another that is just right in length. One tree costs about PhP1k. I think they sell cheaper in the province (Sta Rosa or Los Banos).

I suggest just buy the bamboo and plant it yourself. This is what we did. Tapos paramihin mo na lang.

Maganda rin para sa perimeter ng house yung birds of paradise. It's not messy compared to bamboo. This is what we have on the other side of our perimeter naman. Yun nga lang it does not grow as tall as bamboo.

Madali lang magtanim nyan ang mahirap is yung mag maintain na malinis...

Make sure sir na wag pababayaan na lumago ng todo yung lower portion nyan lalo na kung malapit sa house mo ilalagay. Snake nest magnet kasi yan kapag napabayaan

What? Seriously? Manipis lang naman yung trunk ng bamboo namin. Kailangan pala naka tali din kasi nawawala sa porma.

Depends on the variety? We had the big ones at home before. Kinain yung foundation ng terrace.

Basta wag lang mapabayaan na lumago ng todo and always give time to inspect the surroundings. By experience kasi sa Batangas madalas nakakahuli mga tambay ng pang pulutan sa ganyang lugar

afaik sa runners dumarami ang kawayan. parang damo yan.
actually damo nga.
maganda ang bamboo ang bilis pang dumami. ang problema diyan pag ayaw mo na, tapos gusto mo ibabg tanim, perwisyo yung mga ugat. bukod sa naninira ng bakod ang lalim ng mga ugat niyan at clumps yan. ang hirap to imposible tanggalin.
regarding ahas nest, kahit saan naman basta may "moisty" substrate, mag pupugad ang ahas diyan.
lalo na kung marami kayong daga.
