Adaptability and growth characteristics of ornamental bamboo species introduced for cultivation
In order to explore the adaptability and growth characteristics of introduced and cultivated ornamental bamboo,a fixed-point tracking monitoring method was used to investigate the growth performance and soil nutrient status of 8 varieties of ornamental bamboo such as Chimonocalamus delicatus,Phyllostachys edulis f. tubaeformis in this experiment. The results showed that the survival rate of the introduction and planting of P. bambusoides f. castilonis,P. nidularia f. speciosa,and P. heterocycla cv. Gracilis was 100%,while the survival rate of the introduction and planting of P. praecox,P. edulis f. tubaeformis,and P. nidularia f. sulfurea was between 80% and 90%,demonstrating good ecological adaptability. The earliest to shoot was P. edulis f. tubaeformis,which shoots in mid to late March. From March to April,there were P. praecox,P. heterocycla cv. Gracilis,P. edulis f. pachyloen,P. nidularia f. speciosa,and P. nidularia f. sulfurea. In May,there was P. bambusoides f. castilonis,and C. delicatus shoots the latest,in late June. The ability of mother bamboo to germinate into new shoots varies among different bamboo species. The physical and chemical properties of soil to some extent affect the growth of bamboo diameter and stem height. The research results provide a reference for the selection and early cultivation management of bamboo species.
