Description:

This is a collectors bamboo and makes a beautiful specimen or hedge. It makes a great conversation piece with its yellow and green striped canes and is sure to get the neighbors attention. Alphonse karr is a very colorful yellow and green striped bamboo, with new shoots emerging pink. Alphonse Karr is extremely adaptable to many soil types, and quite easy to grow. It makes an excellent potted or high light house plant. This bamboo has roots out the drain holes of the pot and is ready to explode with new growth. I will trim the growth down to 30" or so to fit into a shipping box.

The earlier in the season you can plant your bamboo the better. Bamboo shoots from late Spring-Fall. It grows its roots in the Winter and into Spring, so if you buy a plant after August, don't expect to see new shoots til April-November, when you can expect a 6'-8' plant with 6-12 shoots your first Summer, 8'-12' second summer and 20'+ third summer. This Bamboo will mature to 35' after 3-5 years and 5' diameter.Growth and survival depends on feeding and watering the bamboo.

They are fast growers and hungry (need steady diet of natural or chemical fertilizer) and thirsty (water, at least for the 1st year). All you need to do is feed and water these starts and they will grow into big mature clumps within 3-5 years.

The size of the plants vary from time of year. In Spring they are somewhat fresh and ultra viable re rooted divisions which, if planted before June, will shoot up to 6 shoots that year. As they grow into summer it doesn't take long til they are outgrowing their 3 gallon pots, it grows that fast! If you have a question about the actual plant you will be getting call me Scott 954-234-1370
