P. vivax 1'-2' since emerging this past weekend (4 yrs. old single culm
transplant), has approximately 30 new culms, some very close to main
planting, others running up to 15' since last year with up to 4 new culms on
some runners. P. aureosulcata 2"-4" since emerging over the weekend, but
just really starting out, should be major eruption of new culms by next
week. I'm afraid a green monster has been awakened!

Any Shoot Reports from the Puget Sound area? I'm in Port Orchard and
no sign of black bamboo yet.
