I have 8 clumps of Alphonse Karr, and have not had any flowering. Two of the clumps have been in the ground for 4 years and the other six were planted 2 years ago.

Re: Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr' shoots
guess I just have bad luck....or just too cold and stress flowering both years....it is only hanging on by a thread...I only have six new boos from all the seeds and none have shown any yellow so far

None of my B.m.'AK' have shown any signs of flowering.
