Bamboofag back again with some confusing progress
Pic related is #1, who has sent out 4(?) runners, three underground. The first goes straight out and I've kept reburying it, the second I turned around to the direction I wanted it, same deal as runner 1. Runner 3 shot straight up out of the ground and is growing ever further towards the sky as if it were a shoot. Being so straight up out of the original rootmass I can't really bury it so I leave it be
This morning I discovered runner 4, extremely late growth compared to runner 1 and 2 which both creeped out beginning in April.
What the hell is runner 3 doing? The species is a phyllostachys (runner) but it's going straight up?
