Abstract

Horticulture staff at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh have experimented with the propagation of Bambusa vulgaris by planting pieces of stem directly into the bed in which the plant is to grow. The success of the method means that both transportation time and space are saved by removing the stage where these large propagules are in the propagation unit.
