We now have 20 large field grown Emerald bamboo clumps - 10 last year and 10 this year. Since the 2nd 10 went in earlier this year, we've been anxiously awaiting when the first new canes would come out. We hoped for spring, but suspected that they would be out in summer... considering that the first canes appeared last year in August.
Well, today is June 25th, and we have four meaty Emerald canes on G (last year's clumps are 1-10, this years are A-J). Exciting!
I expect MANY more are on the way, but it's a great data point to remember when the first canes appeared.
