Comparasion on the Growth Characteristics of Four Ornamental Bamboo Species

The biological characteristics of bamboo shoot,recessional bamboo shoot and height-growth of Pleioblastus kongosanensis f.aureo-striatus, Pleioblastus fortunei,Shibataea chinensis and Pleioblastus argenteostriatus had been studied in this article. Four bamboo species showed the same law of less-more-less on the quantity of bamboo shoot and recessional bamboo shoot.The quantity order of bamboo shoot was Pleioblastus argenteostriatusPleioblastus fortuneiShibataea chinensisPleioblastus kongosanensis f.aureo-striatus;The quantity order of recessional bamboo shoot was Pleioblastus shibataea chinensisPleioblastus argenteostriatusPleioblastus fortuneiPleioblastus kongosanensis f.aureo-striatus;The order for the rate of growing bamboo shoot was Pleioblastus fortuneiPleioblastus argenteostriatusPleioblastus kongosanensis f.aureo-striatusShibataea chinensis.The growing of all the bamboo species showed the condition of slow-quick-slowwith a growing curve of S shape.The order of height growth was Pleioblastus kongosanensis f.aureo-striatusShibataea chinensisPleioblastus fortuneiPleioblastus argenteostriatus.
