Phyllostachys nuda Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a rich damp soil in a sheltered position and plenty of moisture in the growing season[200]. Dislikes prolonged exposure to hard frosts[200], but plants have tolerated temperatures down to -22°c and are among the hardiest members of this genus[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]. This is a good companion species to grow in a woodland because the plants are shallow rooted and do not compete with deep rooted trees[195]. For further Phyllostachys nuda gardening information |
