You Will Find Deciding To Plant A Blue Henon Bamboo Tree To Be A Good Idea

By Ruthie Calderon


All bamboos are the fastest growing plants because of its mass of roots. These roots or rhizomes develop from auxiliary buds and will grow at right angles to the force of gravity. They will keep their shape and allow any new shoots to grow in the air. This part is where all nutrients as well as proteins and starches are stored until needed. Of all the species of bamboo the blue henon bamboo tree is by far the most popular as it will form a fence of sorts allowing for more privacy.

The tree has a blue green colour to it and has a very beautiful appearance when planted in any garden. It is very fast growing and is known to grow as tall as fifty feet. The stems can reach anything from three inches in diameter and up and was first imported out of China in the early nineteenth century.

At Aaron's Farm they are able to sell this bamboo in clumps ranging at different prices. For a six inch wide shoot clump that reaches to six feet in length to the fourteen inch wide. When they are getting prepared to be shipped the clumps will be cut in half or thirds if they are over ten inches high. They are shipped twelve months of the year and can take about seven to ten working days to reach their designated destination.

The price for the fourteen inch wide clump will be about one hundred and fifty four dollars and the ten inch will set one back just over seventy seven dollars. The eight inch wide is about fifty two dollars and the six inch is only twenty eight dollars twenty five. Shipping costs on all of the above do apply and the shipping methods that can be used are UPS Ground or Motor Freight.

When material is made from bamboos the fibres will need to be broken down by adding chemicals and then forced through spinnerets. The most used chemicals are carbon disulfide, lye and a variety of different strong acids. They will normally be referred to as bamboo fabric or bamboo rayon.

In order to re-plant a running bamboo into the ground it is advisable to make a container for them out of high density plastic. It must be open at the bottom and can be closed at the sides with a metal brace. Dig a hole large enough for the plastic to sit comfortably inside. This container will ensure that the plant can be kept in control for the next five to seven years.

As it grows the stalks will begin to creep over the rim of the plastic and this is when one will need to trim them down. Fill the container with soil and if one prefers they can score the roots before lowering it into the container although this is not necessary as the roots will unravel and descend over time. Fill it up to the top with more soil and fertilise it with grass fertilizer.

For those that want a complete cover but live in very cold areas, the Black Bamboo is the one to choose. They are able to survive when the temperatures hit below twenty degrees. They can be planted in any landscape and will also grow very tall. The leaves are of a bright green and the canes can either be yellow or green variegated.
