Some bamboo pics
Connie and I took a walk the other day and I had my Panasonic Lumix with me. Took some pics of a couple of the bamboo groves.

Very cool Rich... makes me even more jealous of Florida. Nebraska seems so blah right now compared to that.

Most of the Phyllostachys species would probably do OK in your area.
http://www.bamboogarden.com/cold%20hardy%20bamboo.html It's actually tougher to get them to thrive in very warm climates than the more temperate areas. These are considered as "running" bamboos, instead of the more tropical "clumping" types. |

Cool pics, BIG bamboo.
I had three much smaller varieties I had dug up here and there and transplanted to my Maryland house to plant between the house and Amtrak. Did a very good job of noise absorption and privacy screening. They poisoned it several times, as they routinely poison encroaching vegetation along the rail right-of-way. Some died off, some was just stunted badly, and some of it actually seemed at least partially resistant. Love to see an environmental impact statement on that herbicide the feds use on the railroad, it scorches almost everything with a day or two of being hit... |
That is awesome. How old are some of the larger ones? Do they have any commercial value? I'd love to have a few of them for crafts etc...

I'm sure there are much better transplanting guides online.... |

Bamboo is used in a lot of commercial application in the orient where it is more plentiful. We are seeing more and more of it used here in the USA in the recent past, with bamboo flooring, bamboo sheets, furniture, etc. One of these days I might even get ambitious and sell sections of it, since they would make great hides for terrariums and the like. Matter of fact, looks like some birds have created nesting cavities in some of the bamboo, and I'm sure lizards and tree frogs will hole up in the old split bamboo. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/pics/bamboo_09_2017.jpg http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/pics/bamboo_10_2017.jpg |
Took a pic of the white bamboo we are growing....
