| #1) Bambusa chungii (Tropical Blue Bamboo, Emperor's Blue Bamboo): A fast growing full sun clumping bamboo with a vertical growth habit. In the Sacramento Valley and the SF Bay area it usually grows 25 feet tall with canes up to 2.5 inches in diameter. The new canes have a heavy white powder coating giving them a blue tone. Rated to 21 °F by the American Bamboo Society. |  | - | 2 gallon pots on sale for $65 (usually $85) 5 gallon pots on sale for $95 (usually $150) Important note: Bamboo Mealybugs are extremely common on clumping bamboo plants in the California nursery trade and they are almost impossible to fully eradicate. The way to not have this problem is to start with plants that do not have mealybugs. All of our bamboo plants at Davis Bamboo Nursery are guaranteed free of bamboo mealybugs, ants, scale and bamboo mites. These pests are all extremely problemmatic and common in the California bamboo nursery trade. |

#3) Bambusa multiplex 'Eddie Gaedel': A full sun clumping bamboo with a mostly vertical, growth habit. Canes are gold colored with random vertical green stripes. It grows to a maximum of 6-8 feet tall in the Sacramento Valley and up to about 6 feet tall in the SF Bay area. The canes grow to a maximum diameter of about 3/4 of an inch. This is a relatively new bamboo to the nursery trade and has ony been available for about 10 years. It has cold tolerance about the same as other Bambusa multiplexes.This bamboo was first discovered by Luen Miller as a dwarf sport found within a grove of Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr.' Luan describes this bamboo as follows: Besides being much shorter than 'Alphonse Karr', it is more compact and extremely dense. It appears to have a "Buddha's Belly" style stem-base swelling, with very short internodes and similar zig-zag culms, especially near the base. Most plantings will reach 5-7' within a few years. Few will grow taller except under optimum conditions or reaching for light. The tops of the youngest fine stems grow heavy with dense plumes of new foliage arch slightly outwards as they mature, conspicuously and gracefully, eventually forming what looks like a very tall, very dense, very dark green clump grass, always with a few of those distinctive, typical bluish B. multiplex leaf-undersides showing. This makes an excellent and long-term container plant or short to medium screen, easily kept to 3-4' by pruning out the few taller culms. Best in full sun. |  | - | - | 15 gallon plants for $295. | We have GIANT magnificent 25 gallon plants in stock. Please call for pricing. | |

| #4-C) Bambusa multiplex 'Wavy Goldstripe': A full sun clumping bamboo. Daniel James Nurco isolated this material from part of a Bambusa multiplex 'Eddie Gaedel' that started growing some green canes and we have been growing The Wavy Goldstripe for over 5 years and it is a stable new cultivar. It bears marked similarities to the green form of Bambusa multiplex and also to Bambusa multiplex 'Goldstripe'. We have found this bamboo to grow about 20' tall in the Sacramento Valley with dark green canes and a vertical growth habit with minimal but occasional vertical gold stripes similar to those on Bambusa multiplex 'Goldstripe'. Many of the canes will show no gold stripes and when the stripes are present they are small so this bamboo's canes are predominantly dark green. We have observed canes in pots growing as large as 1.25" in diameter and we expect the canes can grow up to about 1.5" or larger for mature plants in the ground. A particular difference between this bamboo and most other bamboos is the "Wavy" shape of some of the canes which presents itself as a Sine Wave shape on the bottom 4' or so of many of the canes. This cultivar has not yet been grown to a giant plant and it will be interesting to see the "Wavy" appearance on a very large plant. As with other Bambusa multiplexes this is a wind tolerant cultivar. Bambusa textilis cultivars are not tolerant of perpetually windy locales and for that reason The Wavy Goldstripe is a better choice than The Gracilis for customers wanting a 20' tall green colored vertical clumping bamboo in a perpetually windy area. An additional note of camparison is that The Wavy Goldstripe has darker green canes than The Gracilis. Minimum USDA Zone 8B. |  | - |

| #5) Bambusa oldhamii (Giant Timber Bamboo): A full sun clumping bamboo with a vertical growth habit. A typical height for this bamboo in the Sacramento area is 30 - 40 feet tall. In the SF Bay area it tends to grow to about 30 feet tall. Rated to 21 °F by the American Bamboo Society. If you want a clumping bamboo with the largest diameter canes possible in Northern California this is the bamboo for you. If you are considering this bamboo please also consider Bambusa textilis. Both of these clumping timber bamboos occupy a similar niche in the residential landscape and they both grow to approximately the same height. For many reasons we here at Davis Bamboo Nursery believe that Bambusa textilis is a much nicer looking and more suitable bamboo for residental plantings. Our reasons for thinking that Bambusa textilis is generally superior to Bambusa oldhamii include that the textilis: 1) is easier to maintain (translating to lower maintenance fees over the years), 2) shows an attractive powdery blue color on the new bamboo canes, 3) is a bit more cold tolerant, and 4) it has smaller leaves that do not get torn by winter winds (because of the wind in the Sacramento area oldhamii tends to look a bit raggy for about 3 months in the late winter and early spring ~ textilis looks great all year). Minimum USDA Zone 9A. |  | - | 5 gallon for $85 | 15 gallon for $195 | 25 gallon: Please call for pricing. | |

This bamboo is from a Bambusa textilis seedling that Roy Works sold to Rockledge Gardens in Florida and they have been selling it for a good number of years as a dwarf version of textilis and it has remained about half size of regular Bambusa textilis. The American Bamboo Society offically designates this bamboo as Bambusa textilis 'RG Dwarf' which is what we call it. Other nurseries have implemented common names including "Bambusa textilis Dwarf Graceful Bamboo", "Weaver's Bamboo Dwarf", Dwarf Weaver's Bamboo, Textilis Dwarf, and probably other names as well.

If you have this bamboo and it has suddenly started to look very dry as if it is dying then that is what is happening. If your black bamboo looks fine, get ready for it to flower and probably die. For this reason we are not selling any P. nigra at this time. If you are able to collect any seeds you may be able to germinate the next generation of Black Bamboo. |
