don't know the name of it, got me a clump, got me a smile :-)
Giant Bamboo
Beautiful...Lisa
How's your back, LOL.... Broke my favorite shovel digging some one year.
So are they the perfect thickness for plant stakes or BIGGER?? Nice looking plants! Don't feel too bad Kristi, I bent every tine on my pitchfork doing exactly the same thing! I even cracked the fiberglass shaft. LOL
'chele, way too big for plant stakes, they were at least 5 inches in diameter. Kristie, I saved my back, they were dug up with a small machine.
Will that grow in zone 5? I'd love to get a start of it if it will. Know of a good place to get some if it is hardy to my zone?
I'd like a start of it too,even if it's not hardy in my zone,let me know if we can trade something.
Looks like Phylostachys something or other... a large runner. Careful where you plant it.. will run long distances.
We have a stand of bamboo down at the Chesapeake Bay - can't have gloves thick enough when working it as it will slice you up bad if not careful. Is it the same as yours?
Hey Haighr- I know where a HUGE stand of GIANT timber bamboo is in Chesapeake Beach, MD. Use to live there.
This is a stand on the hill just outside Rose Haven. We have two cottages there one on the beach side of Harrington Harbor and one right on the bay with bulkhead on the right side of Harrington.
