Hey Jim......that orange was a Poncirus trifoliata.....nice test for your area.....especially this year! 8) Hey Mike......if you find Tetrapanax seed let me know.....that would be cool to grow from seed.

Not warming up in the ten day forecast, all under freezing and single digits at night, ugh! I'm moving to Alaska!

Weather channel just reported it's 40F in Fairbanks Alaska.

yeah the sunshine does make it more bearable, gorgeous outside too..i was actually sweating while shoveling at 10 f, even with the wind...

It is a cloudless sunny beautiful day though, was out shoveling....not in shorts this time though....lol

We are heading into the next arctic friggin' blast today but at least we are expecting ten inches of snow to help cover things this time around. The last time, it got warm (60) f the day before and rained like hell, melting all the snow. Then the ground froze hard and long...ugh. At least, this time...

My bamboo plants have really taken a beating this year with a low of -22 C (-8 F). Your bamboo should come back with no problems.

Bamboo all over the continent is getting hammered this year. If it took -9F and you didnt have full defoliation thats pretty amazing. There are only a few bamboo that can take that as well as yours seems to have taken it. A few Fargesia (Nitidia, Maurielae), some Phyllostachys (maybe areosulcata, v...

sidpook

Hey Mike.... You ever get those bamboo Identified? What were the lows? You might just have defoliation. You can look at the nodes between the branches and see if the buds are viable. Exactly like trees. Best to wait untill it warms up. Its possible you have some tip/top kill. That doesnt mean anyth...

so will they come from the dead leaf shoots or from the ground on the bottom of the plant????? The stalks are still green and moist

I have just never seen it do this before, even some of the taller more established ones have burnt leaves too....do I need to cut it back or just wait and see what happens in the spring?

Thanks!
