Out of the six Phyllostachys Atrovaginata (Incense Bamboo) plants that I put out last October, each at around 5 to 7 foot tall, this seems to be the only cane growth I’ll be getting this year besides some leaves being replaced. I’m still happy about it, the shoots were a nice treat to discover last week (though the photos above were taken today). Somewhat interestingly, this spot in the planting area may be the most difficult in terms of soil. It’s compact clay and full of big rocks, which is one of the main reasons why I chose Atrovaginata.
