Which running bamboo(s) full sun S.TX?
Comments (3)Here in 8b, I would recommend Bambusa textilis. Yes, it is a clumper, and it may be up to 5 years before you can get decent visual screen, but I have gotten a nice screen in as little as 3 years with textilis. It is one of the most, if not 'the' most cold hardy of the Bambusas and makes an impenetrable clump once mature. It grows to 44' here. I wish I would have planted textilis along my whole back(north) fence as a visual and Winter wind barrier. It may take a lot of plants to cover the distance that you need, but I think it is best since you will never have to worry about it getting out of control, which I had with the Phyllostachys runners. The runners really like Texas once they are established. I can get a few dozen divisions from a mature textilis each year, so if you buy only a few plants, you can later take divisions to fill in between the other plants. I never purchased from Lewis Bamboo so I have no comment on their plants or services. Kt...See Morewhich one is actually S. maraschino?
Comments (4)I would say that it has to be the one to the left as it's more red...but my Maraschino Cherry is more 'red' than that and cameras sometimes don't catch the true color. I'm sure that Rich can tell you as 'Maraschino Cherry' is one of his introductions....See MoreNew Zeylanica
Comments (16)It looks like I have the same S. Trifasciata as EB88 is talking about. If EB88 means 'more yellow' with 'new Zeylanica' that is. I'm not sure since it seems that a flash is used while taking a picture. But I'm not sure EB88 is also talking about this yellow tinge though ... But nonetheless, see picture below. On the right a S. T. 'Black Coral', in the middle a regular S. Trifasciata, on the left a regular S. Trifasciata which seems to be more yellow than a regular S. Trifasciata. They are both grown with the same lighting conditions and I always assumed the yellow would correct itself to the regular S. Trifasciata. But it does not. It keeps being more yellow and is a really slow grower also. Overhere it is sold as a Sansevieria 'Green line', which apparently is made up. Our regular S. Trifasciatas are sold as S. Zeylanica. @barbmock: I've also seen this behavior from my S. 'Midnight Shine'. Overhere sold as S. 'Black Gold'....See MoreBlack Coral ? Or not ?
Comments (21)From what I remember, (which is not much these days) is that Zeylanica is a special species and not very attractive and not much grown anymore and what is called Zeylanica is really just trifasciata. Why the old name sticks is unknown. To get the best colors of Black Coral it has to be grown well. In direct sun. If kept in the house all year it tends to darken and get washed out banding sort of. I used to see it at Lowers a few years ago but not in the last few years. I guess it comes and goes. I do like it over plain trifasciata. Was going to buy it but was too large and the wife was with me. She would have had a fit....See MoreNextObsession?
