I've been keeping on top of removing the suckers and the plants are beginning to show buds at the top too on all 3 varieties. All 3 varieties have put on impressive growth in the past week or so.
I'm a bit concerned about my Bamboo Shoot plants though - I've never grown such large healthy looking bright leaf before - but in the last few days the lower leaves have begun to yellow very quickly and some are showing dead (brown) patches too. From my experience of growing here it's very early indeed for the leaf to be becoming ripe. It has been very hot and dry - but these last couple of days have been much colder and rainy ... could that trigger something like this? Or is Bamboo Shoot just a variety that ripens quite early?
I'd be very grateful if anyone knows!
