I was in Hawaii and hiked through a bamboo forest. The path chopped through it leading up to a 400ft waterfall and to keep the stuff from growing back in there was a wooden plank platform leading up the entire way. The platform was still wonky here and there because the bamboo was WINNING.
Creepiest part was in the densest part of it the acoustics completely changed. The air was still and if almost seemed as if the sound was sucked out of the space. There was little to no light even though it was the middle of the day, and on occasion the wind blew and you heard drums go off randomly around you as the bamboo struck itself.
Freaking awesome but also nightmare fuel.
@Nagel420 : Funny enough this tree is close to my pond too! It’s thankfully growing in the farthest back corner of my yard that tends to flood which is why I put in the pond to begin with and only plant “Survivers” back there. So far the only thing that would be affected by the tree is the stinging nettle (*which doesn’t give a fuck) and a shared cedar hedge (which also doesn’t seem to give a fuck).
I’m going to be nice and trim the branches overhanging the idiots property but also secretly training it to bush out right at the top of the fence so it’s veg matter is mostly above the fence line
Cut it to the ground one year. Next summer it will be a bush. Summer after that will be exactly what you are looking for, with a trunk thats like 3-4" thick, supporting a bush that covers the 6’ - 14’ high area… For me, it gives visual interest to an otherwise boring white windowless outside wall… haven’t let it go to 3 years lately because it just gets scraggly up top…
LOL, well, it’s done that here for the past 10 years now, pretty consistently. I figured it would die eventually because when I cut back, its to the GROUND. But then up come the shoots, all holding up their little middle fingers at me saying “na na na na” … I gave up and made it a feature instead LOL
Ok, it’s been 5 days and here’s the update for how things are looking now. On the Sour60s the yellowing/dying back is starting to come on strong, in spite of a good solid nutrient program. That tells me they’re almost ready to chop. The yellowing from nitro def was recovering but now it’s back with a vengeance. So, nothing but water from now until chop.
I’m sure you’ll do them better justice than I could cuz…with this many plants going, it’s not very feasible for me to do the LST thing to them! I’m too damn old for that much work! lol
Looking good! It’s really neat to see so many of each sort together like that, I can see how it would help you know whether something like the yellowing coming on is the life cycle or environmental.
looking good and I’m glad they all worked out for you I really am also @Slick1 sent pack number 2 out a few days ago I hope this one makes if not we will try a third time dammit lol have a great day folks
