Hijacking my thread is one thing, but talking about Hyundai is yet another...

UPDATE-
The dryroot don't seem to be doing anything, the plants though are guaranteed, I saved the package so if nothing happens in the next couple of weeks, they will credit my account and I wil get 2-new ones next spring

All the others are growing well, I can't see how they will ever get tall enough to overwhelm the pole and/or trellis, but I have read over and over not to expect much the 1st season, it is even possible I won't even have any fruit this year.

Oh, and while we are at it, I hae another thing to plant.

Ready for this?

That's right, Bamboo baby, Bamboo...

I have yet to figure out where to plant it, but I have an idea

Across the road from my driveway is a 30-foot wild, overgrown area, it is the road access property for the Buddhist temple around the corner from me. I figure this might be the perfect spot to plant the Bamboo, that way if it get's out of control, I won't have to worry about it taking over my property, plus, I not only get to see it, but in the end, I suspect the Buddhist will just think all their great causes allowed them to get this myoho (mystic power/law) effect and will be thrilled to have bamboo on their property.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Anyways, I got a nice little plant about 2-feet tall from a co-worker, her husband has a huge patch growing at their place in Hilton, so clearly, it can handle our climate zone.

No good photos online, best I can find.

I suspect those in warmer humid climates would have a better chance of accomplishing that...

Don't plant bamboo! It never goes away and you'll regret it 'till the day you die! It's as bad as Japanese Knotweed! AAAARRGH!

He needs the bamboo to hide his illicit activities - like so called hops
