Bamboos

Many bamboos are popular in cultivation as garden plants. We'll show you how to keep your bamboos pest and disease free, bamboo cultivation, care, and control, how to select bamboo plants, thinning and harvesting bamboos, and more.

Bamboo Pests and Diseases
Basically, bamboos are pest- and disease-free. Very few insect pests found in the continental United States are attracted to the popular ornamental bamboos. Making the rounds these days, however, is an imported pest called the bamboo mite.

Bamboo Mealybugs?
One way to kill noxious bamboo mealybugs on bamboo is to use a systemic insecticide. I've used Cygon (dimethoate) to control this mealybug on outdoor groves of Phyllostachys bambusoides castellon and P. nigra. It can be either sprayed onto the leaves, applied as a soil drench, or, my preference for larger bamboo (culms over 1/4" diameter), injected into the hollow space inside each culm.


	General Bamboo Care Although most people have a place in mind as to where they want to plant their bamboo, one should keep in mind that most large bamboos grow quicker and do their best in full sun.
	Controlling Bamboo While we really are in favor of planting bamboos, rather than eliminating them, we do need to tell people how to get rid of a bamboo when somebody has planted the wrong variety, or the right variety in the wrong place.
