    Bem-vindo, Pal ... been missing your posts.

    Hope you and Mrs Pal have been coping.

    Are you at the cottage with a line or have you managed to get back home? Whatever, nice to see you again. [​IMG]

    Bamboo roots are the toughest ever I have seen in a relatively young plant.
    We have just a handful of bamboos plants at my parents place in Italy, and I had once the unhappy idea to dig a couple of them...
    Bamboos will not spread just in width, but especially in height for what I have seen.
    And they need a lot of water...
