Phyllostachys edulis (CN) — BT1000, BT1011

-
  • Provenance: Seeds received by Boonthammee Bamboo Garden, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, from YBN, southern China, as "Phyllostachys pubescens, 毛竹 （楠竹） (máo zhú, nán zhú)", collected Sep. 2016 (BT1000, BT1011).
  • Photos and text information in Bamboo Seeds Catalog.
  • Seed weight: 10 g ≈ 350–450 dried spikelets (bract-wrapped seeds).
  • Seed viability: Six months under normal atmospheric conditions; one year and little longer under storage at 1-6 °C. Under subtropical and tropical climates, Phyllostachys edulis seeds are more easily attacked by fungi than seeds of other species, hence an anti-fungal treatment is recommended.
  • Seed germination: Germination rate low, 5–15% can be expected (test 161014 and test 170313).
  • Comments: Commonly known as Moso Bamboo.

From all caryopses, the radicula emerged already on the 2nd day, the coleoptile on the 3rd day after sowing (100%) (test 180224).Flowering: Under observation. It is assumed that the plant will die after flowering.Comments: Possibly Vietnamosasa ciliata, but this identification has not yet been confirmed.

Provenance: Baan Sammi Nature Resort and Bamboo Garden, Doi Saket, Chiang Mai, Thailand, cultivated. Two plants flowered. The plants (BS-0347, BS-0234) were collected from 2 locations (farmer's gardens) in Doi Saket District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, Dec. 2009, and Aug. 2009.Photos: Album in flickr Collection Bamboos of Thailand.Description: Text information and links in Google Site Bamboos of Thailand.Flowering:
(1) BS-0347: Prior to flowering, the plant had grown to near maximum culm height and diameter. Gregarious flowering initially started with only 3 culms in late December 2014, with flowering peak in early 2015. The three culms died, and were cut off in mid 2015. New thick shoots emerged from the clump untimely in early April 2015 and developed into 20 m tall culms. The clump did not cease vegetative growth, and no signs of further flowering was observed by late October 2015, but one month later, the whole clump continued gregarious flowering, and was dead by mid to l…
