Arundo Donax Growing well

I really like this one.

Thanks David
It is massive it will grow to 15ft or so .....:o))))

Mushy did you leave this one in all winter, we are growing a variegated one and it is really thin compared to yours.....it has been inside all winter.

DD
Yes it stays out all year......

Do you protect it at all?

great looking plant

Dd
No. I just cut down the canes at the end of the year

Might try that with ours and hope for the best.....

Post a pic DD of your one i haven't seen a variegated one before

Mushy will put it on tomorrow for you......

Thanks DD

Palmate, you're brave to grow this plant. This plant can become very invasive...and like you say it can grow very tall.

Mushy have posted it, Del it is only a problem in much warmer climates.

Dottydaisy2:

Does it die down in winter there?

Here it because a huge problem taking over large areas...it's almost as invasive/weedy as pampas grass.

It does and your left with huge 15ft canes..
I cut them down and my neighbours kids and friends make wigwams and dens
from them..:o))))

Mushy has answered for me.......

OOPs sorry DD...

Mushybanna:

I'm assuming it dies down before going to seed there?

It does Its very similar to miscanthus...

Palmate:

Okay...that's the reason why they don't naturalize there. Makes sense. : > )
