My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Here's a shot of one of this spring's culms. Its up to about 2" diameter and is highly variable as to how much each culm may have. The stripes fade somewhat with age.
CJ, check out this stand of invisible moso I'm growing. It stands close to 70 ft tall and the culms are close to 8 inches in diameter. This is crazy tall for being in IoWa ! Photos below.
Wow!
Exciting! As you can see, a lot taller than me.
HOw high can I climb? Hey I thought I was jackie chan in the photo.
Somehow this posting got double posted to the Gallery and the Discussions lists (it should have gone only to Gallery). The pic is in the Goldstripe moso posting in Gallery.
By the way, I do have 70 ft tall, 5.5 inch diameter moso and it certainly isn't invisible.
Mike, I looked on the gallery and all your plants look great! How long have you been growing your moso grove? It looks well established, almost as big as here in Japan. PF
I have no idea how the thread with no title or even this thread got on this page, maybe some glitch in the forum solfware. I was posting all of my threads to the Gallery page. Of all the different species of Phyllostachys, moso is the easiest to restrict the spread of. I maintain the edge of one of my moso groves 8 feet from the house by an annual fall root prune. Another young (2002) moso grove that I am root pruning to maintain in a clumping habit has been increasing in size at a rate typical for moso in my climate. It is currently about 15 feet high, 1 inch dia, and forms a dense 2 foot dia clump.
Of my two moso groves producing culms over 5 inches dia, one was planted in 1990, and the other in 1997.
Cactus Joe, I confess I posted to the one with no title. So this way it wouldn't stay 1st for a few days. While viewing the Bamboo forum page I went to View->Source. and saw the address and pasted it
I've been having problems with some pages while loading, a message box that says it aborting. Anyone else?
Spiros, Nice work around the No Title post! I'll remember that trick for the next time it happens. Thanks. Have not seen the aborting message while loading, just annoying pop up ads. Eric
Add me in the club that a message box keeps saying something about aborting. Its been happening for me on gardenweb this past week. I just figured it was my computer acting up.
Spiros, I just went to Mike's "no title" thread (thanks to the link you posted). It's not just simply titleless - it's actually empty! Weird. A Ghost Thread!
Cactus_joe, when looking thru the source code I used 'Mike Marietta' as a reference point and looked before it to find the link address. Additionally the website below is a great tutorial.
