I want to start a bamboo garden in a climate where I know it grows. A
friend of mine has nice, tall bamboo at his house, but he didn't plant
it there. BTW, er live in Texas. Can I make some cuttings and plant it
that way. Any suggestions? What size do the cuttings need to be, how
long to hold them in water, etc. Does this have to be done at a
certain time of the year? Anything else I should know?

Thanks.

Contact the Texas Bamboo Society. They have a nice newsletter with
practical information and sketches to help you propogate bamboos from
cuttings. I would also suggest buying Bamboo World by Victor Cusack,
you can find it on Amazon.com!
