Description
Early memories of wandering through a bamboo grove at Melbourne Botanical Gardens are what first triggered my fascination with bamboo. Ever since, I have been impressed with the strength and beauty of this amazing plant. Living in Melbourne certainly has not been the best place to fulfill my aspiration of this plant.
Magnificent plantings are normally only viewed in far away tropical countries. In fact, bamboo is mostly scorned upon in Melbourne-“it’s a horrible weed that takes over the garden” is the belief of most people. ‘There must be more to it than that’ were my thoughts only a few years ago when my liking of bamboo cropped up again. I jumped on the internet to educate myself on all the aspects of this plant, and quickly realized that this plant was completely unappreciated.
After several more weeks of research I jumped in my van and headed north to where all the bamboo growers are. I filled my van with an assortment of ‘very expensive and insignificant’ bamboo plants on assurance that they would grow very well. Ireturned home and repotted all the plants into larger containers and they just sat there all winter with very minimal growth. When September hit, so did my excitement, with shoots popping up everywhere.
