You Will Love Having A Blue Henon Bamboo Tree

By Ruthie Calderon


All bamboos are the fastest growing plants because of its mass of roots. These roots or rhizomes develop from auxiliary buds and will grow at right angles to the force of gravity. They will keep their shape and allow any new shoots to grow in the air. This part is where all nutrients as well as proteins and starches are stored until needed. Of all the species of bamboo the blue henon bamboo tree is by far the most popular as it will form a fence of sorts allowing for more privacy.

The tree has a blue green colour to it and has a very beautiful appearance when planted in any garden. It is very fast growing and is known to grow as tall as fifty feet. The stems can reach anything from three inches in diameter and up and was first imported out of China in the early nineteenth century.

At Aaron's Farm they are able to sell this bamboo in clumps ranging at different prices. For a six inch wide shoot clump that reaches to six feet in length to the fourteen inch wide. When they are getting prepared to be shipped the clumps will be cut in half or thirds if they are over ten inches high. They are shipped twelve months of the year and can take about seven to ten working days to reach their designated destination.

In Indonesia they are thinly sliced and boiled with a coconut milk and different spices are added to create a dish called gulai rebung. Some of the shoots will need to be boiled beforehand so as to make then safe. The young stalks can also be picked during the wet season and made into a soft drink and even a sweet wine.

They offer a wide variety of different fast growing bamboo plants as well and the colours of the canes come in blue, green, black as well as yellow. They will vary in height but they are all hardy and can withstand temperatures falling to below zero. The Alphonse Karr Bamboo Plant is the most popular as it makes a perfect fence and is also very pleasing to look.

In order to re-plant a running bamboo into the ground it is advisable to make a container for them out of high density plastic. It must be open at the bottom and can be closed at the sides with a metal brace. Dig a hole large enough for the plastic to sit comfortably inside. This container will ensure that the plant can be kept in control for the next five to seven years.

The Robert Young Bamboo Plant has a very fast growth speed and tends to spread just as quick. Its canes are variegated with bright tallow and green stripes. It will resemble a weeping bamboo when at its full height which can be about thirty five feet. The prices will vary when it comes to the width of the shoot clump.

There are two types of bamboos the running and the clumping. It is well worth ones time to become familiar with these two types as the running one can become very much like a forest over time. Those that have planted the wrong type swear that they will never plant bamboo again.
