CIG Fox Bamboo Production

CIG Fox Research - Indoor Tropical 40-60 ft growth production bamboo stalks


500,000+ production clusters in bunker warehouse settings with simulated tropic & 24 hour manufactured solar growth

MAIN BAMBOO CHOICE 

1-2 feet of growth monthly 

Dendrocalamus is a tropical Asian genus of giant clumping bamboos in the grass family. It is found in the Indian subcontinent, China, and Southeast Asia. Dendrocalamus giganteus is one of the tallest of bamboos, capable of reaching heights up to 46 m. 

Potentially one of the largest bamboo in the world with quality timber and edible shoots. Needs tropical conditions to reach its potential. In subtropical climates such as at Bamboo Land, it tends to grow to about 20m.

Typical height: 30m

Typical culm diameter: 30cm

Minimum temperature tolerance: -2°C

Climate: Prefers a tropical climate

Light conditions:  Full sun

Growth habit: Upright

Growing conditions: Moist, well drained soil. Keep well mulched.

Origin: Burma

  
SLOWER MATURITY - BAMBOO 

Bambusa Oldhamii

Botanical Name:  Bambusa Oldhamii

Common Name:  Giant Timber Bamboo Plants

Maximum Height:  40-65'

Culm diameter:  4"

Minimum Temperature:  15-20F

Light:  Full Sun

Hardiness: 21F

*Please respect the minimum temperatures. If the temps dip below the minimum temps for just a few hours the bamboo will suffer severe damage. Most importantly, it will stunt the bamboos long term growth! The right bamboo for your climate is of importance. Do it right the first time and you'll love the results! 

This is a super cool, tall, straight timber bamboo that grows classic, huge, 50' bamboo poles 4"-6" in diameter. It's tall but very straight and works well as a single specimen planting or spread 5'-6' apart to make a beautiful green screen. The culms are straight and erect with relatively short branches forming fairly open clumps. Culm walls are thick, but soft.  This is the famous Oldhamii timber bamboo used throughout Walt Disney World. Oldhamii produces tall and very straight timber in a tight clumping pattern. It is truly a well behaved giant. This is a very easy plant to grow which requires little attention once rooted. Commonly used for large privacy hedges and windbreaks on large properties.

The earlier in the season you can plant your bamboo the better. Bamboo shoots from late Spring-Fall. It grows its roots in the Winter and into Spring, so if you buy a plant after August, don't expect to see new shoots til  April-November, when you can expect a 6'-8' plant with 6-12 shoots your first Summer, 12'-18' second summer and 30'+ third summer. This Bamboo will mature to 55' after 3-5 years and  7' diameter. Growth and survival depends on feeding and watering the bamboo.

They are fast growers and hungry (need steady diet of natural or chemical fertilizer) and thirsty (water, at least for the 1st year). All you need to do is feed and water these starts and they will grow into big mature clumps within 3-5 years. 

The size of the plants vary from time of year. In Spring they are somewhat fresh and ultra viable re rooted divisions which, if planted before June, will shoot up to 6 shoots that year. As they grow into summer it doesn't take long til they are outgrowing their 3 gallon pots, it grows that fast!  


PLANT PROPAGATION 

Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made or natural dispersal of seeds. Propagation typically occurs as a step in the overall cycle of plant growth. 

The breeding of specimens of a plant or animal by natural processes from the parent stock.

"the propagation of plants by root cuttings"

Can you grow a cutting from any plant? Nearly every plant can be successfully propagated using cuttings, though the exact method will differ from species to species. Some plants are most successfully grown from leaf cuttings, while others do best when grown from roots or hardwood.
