Above
center is a grove of 'Green
Onion'. This grove has
canes all in the 6 to 8 foot
height range. This grove was planted in 1995 and would
cover around 800 square feet if it had been undistrubed
with no divisions taken.
This
one is special and is sought by many gardeners and collectors. This is
a very
erect species of bamboo having a dark green leaves up to 12 inches in
length.
It does well in containers and when planted in the ground can grow to
18 feet in height. The large swollen internodes which resemble green
onions make it very unusual. Similar to 'Arrow Bamboo' this species is
not
considered to be very invasive in nature compared to other runners used
for
privacy screening.
I have great starter divisions of 'Green Onion' in 3 gallons sizes for $75 each.
Some customers select this species if
they are
in zone 6 or 7 and cannot grow the 'Buddha's
Belly' bamboo.
Below
are some new 3 gallon sizes
we have
prepared for 2006 Spring sales. We have over 60 of these ready and
growing rhizomes right now.
The 'Green
Onion' is in the background at the left.
Below are two of the 30 gallon size containers with 'Green Onion'.
These containers weigh around 250 pounds each.
