Phyllostachys meyeri Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a rich damp soil in a sheltered position and some shade[200]. Grows well in a woodland. It is estimated that plants will be hardy to about -20°c[195]. Another report says that this species is not hardy in the colder areas of the country, it tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10°c[200]. This is a good companion species to grow in a woodland because the plants have shallow root systems that do not compete with deep tree roots[195]. This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. Plants only flower at intervals of many years. When they do come into flower most of the plants energies are directed into producing seed and consequently the plant is severely weakened. They sometimes die after flowering, but if left alone they will usually recover though they will look very poorly for a few years. If fed with artificial NPK fertilizers at this time the plants are more likely to die[122]. For further Phyllostachys meyeri gardening information |
