I have planted 5 varieties of bamboo on my property with numbers 6 and 7 started
this year. The shoots of some varieities are edible and the plant itself is very
practical. Also, a grove of bamboo makes a good privacy screen and a nice sound
when the wind blows through.
I was wondering if there are any other fans of bamboo here.

Mine's electric...

Some bamboo clump and some have runners. The clumpers are easier to
control. Have you tried Gardenweb? http://www.gardenweb.com they have
specialist groups.
