I would LOVE to have a few of these bamboo to grow in a large pot. I don't have anything on your want list, and most of my garden is comprised of perennials of unknown names. Would you consider selling or payment plus postage? Thanks!

Hi, I'll be dividing a 6 culm 10 gallon Fargesia this weekend Possibly. Weather permitting ;) we keep getting these surprise storms Looking for tropicals that will do well here in Cary, NC zone 7. Also have seeds - Water bamboo - F Nitida - and Chusquea Sulcata. Have a large buddha belly in a planter that I need to divide as well. So many "to-do's" lol Take care let me know. CJ

Hi, If you have plants remaining, I would be interested in 15 of them to form a screen. If you could trim down culms & ship bare root with moist papertowel, USPS has a "if it fits, it ships" box (would send postage). Can discuss what you would like to trade for in private email, so please contact me.

Hey, thanks folks for the input! If I have unrealistic expectations for its growth rate, I didn't dream it up by myself. Honest. My books say "rapid grower" and so did bamboogarden.com when I told them where I lived and where it would be planted. While I don't know its age, the one nearby at the Smithsonian Shade Garden is easily 8'. As for heat being a problem, the plant has shown no signs of heat stress, and stays green and unfurled throughout the year. It is in a cool, shady yard and temps here don't go in the 90s much if at all. (It is currently 57F outside at 9AM in mid-May.) However, if you think I need to set up a misting system for it in 80F days, by God, I'll do it. Kudzo, how high was yours at 3 years? (Yes, I know it grows to 15'. I used hyperpole to stress my frustration with its growth.) It seems to be spreading just fine, but looks just as high as it was in the 1 gallon container. Mersie, I bought from bamboogardens.com due to the owner's credentials. However, I have been less than pleased when I called for support last year. After I hear more on others' experience with FM, I may well call them back and tell them to start using tissue cultures instead of mutant dwarf seeds! :) Thanks for the recommendation of another grower. I will definitely look into it. My latest research has led me to this Fargesia Rufa 'Green Panda'. Can anyone tell me how that grows, and if you have both, how it compares in growth to Murielae? Thanks!
