When is the best time to plant bamboo in the north?

Bamboo planting time in the north

Because the winter in the northern region is too cold, the temperature is very low and it is dry, so it is more suitable to plant bamboo in October in autumn and February in early spring. It should be noted that between March and May in spring is the bamboo shoot period, which is not suitable for planting bamboo.

How to plant bamboo in the north

1. Buried pole seedling raising:

Select healthy bamboo poles that are more than two years old, cut off and remove the upper bamboo tips, cut a notch in the middle of the bamboo nodes every 1 to 2 nodes, soak them in water, seal the cut with clay, lay the bamboo poles flat, and then cover them with 5-10 cm of soil to keep the seedbed moist.

2. Lateral branch seedling cultivation:

Take a branch, cut off the excess dead leaves on the side branches, leaving about 5 nodes, insert the cut branch into a container and leave the upper part, spray water frequently to keep it moist, until new buds grow on the branch nodes and gradually grow into new bamboo poles.
