DG,
I think Travis was referring to the statement from echnosum
Even some of the most respected bamboo
sellers describe Phyllostachys as "clumping" unless it is a totally
rampant one.


I did not see anything on those websites that said Phyllostachys was a
clumper.

The only person outside of Europe that I have seen described a Phyllostachys
as
a clumper was Cisco Morris on his television show. He planted a P. aurea and
said it was a clumper then gave a warning that all clumpers will run after
about
4 years.
