I have no idea what varieties I am attempting to grow. I bought the low bushy one at a garden store where it was labelled simply "bamboo" and the tall one is from a 5 or six inch shoot I dug out of a crack in the sidewalk near a large bamboo "forest" in my neighborhood. I planted the shoot and it didnt do anything the first year, then last summer it shot out three stems that grew about five feet quickly. Then the roofers fixing my roof trampled one of them. Im anxious to see what happens this summer.
