Here's some pix of some of my bamboo.
Culms of Alphonse Karr . Appr. ! 1/4 dia.

A. K. used as a screen. Completely hides a 12x 10 metal shed and blocks the view into my yard from the parking lot next door.
My new neighbor just recently cut a hedge down that use to block that opening. Gonna fix that soon.

Otatea Acuminata Aztecorum (Mexican Weeping Bamboo) Most graceful of all the bamboos.has thin culms,10-12' in the ground ,much smaller in containers. Beautiful in the garden -the slightest breeze gets this guy waving gracefully. Makes a great hedge but it is pricey and a very slow grower.

Newly planted A.K. It'll be several years before this reaches the size of the bamboo in the second pic. About 3' tall and was cut from the bamboo in the second pic.

Giant Timber Bamboo ready to plant. Should get to 10-12 ' by summers end. We'll see.
