Hi, I am trying to identify the type of bamboo that I have, and was hoping that somebody could help me. The bamboo appears to be a clumping variety and is about 2 - 2.5 ft tall though some of the newer shoots are about 3 - 3.5 ft. I have attached some pictures, any information greatly appreciated. thanks, xman
Foliage perhaps a little untidy for it but a common clumper where frosts are not severe is Bambusa glaucescens. Otherwise maybe a Pleioblastus. These run but running bamboos do not explode on every site - here in our dry summer climate golden, black and other running bamboos may remain in clumps for years.
Ron, thanks. I called the nursery that I got this from, and they said it was "feather" leaf bamboo. I have heard of "fernleaf" bamboo, but not feather leaf bamboo. Is there a "feather" leaf bamboo? thanks, xman
