What happens when a Bamboo flowers?!

This week on The Horti-Culturalists we're taking a look at one of Stephen's bamboos - Phyllostachys nigra 'Boryana' - or Tiger Bamboo - that is flowering. Normally flowering is something to celebrate but with many Bamboos it means death is imminent! So we'll take a look at Stephen's plant, which is a clone from one in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens that is also flowering, and look at how to manage this process. We'll also investigate what the propagation options are and take a quick look at other Bamboos in Stephen's garden still living their best lives! We made video about the various types of Bamboos here:    • How to garden with Bamboo: firstly, don't ...   ANd the Bamboos we look at in this video are: Phyllostachys nigra 'Boryana' Phyllostachys bambusoides Drepanostachym Falcatum - Himalayan Weeping Bamboo Otatea acuminata - Mexican Weeping Bamboo Phyllostachys nigra - Black Bamboo Sasa palmata Phyllostachys vivax 'Aureocaulis' Himalayacalamus hookerianus - Blue Bamboo
