P. vivax 1'-2' since emerging this past weekend (4 yrs. old single culm
transplant), has approximately 30 new culms, some very close to main
planting, others running up to 15' since last year with up to 4 new culms on
some runners. P. aureosulcata 2"-4" since emerging over the weekend, but
just really starting out, should be major eruption of new culms by next
week. I'm afraid a green monster has been awakened!

The first year it sleeps; the second year it creeps; the third year it

I have what I believe to be a P. aureosulcata and it is shooting. I
also have a P. aureosulcata /f/ spectabilis and it too is shooting. My
Sasa palmata is shooting. My P. nigra, P. nigra 'Bory', P. vivax and
Semiarundinaria fastuosa are not shooting yet.
