Andrew - I don't know about that at all, but having had bamboo in my garden
in S. Africa I can tell you that it is very invasive so I'd be careful where
you plant it as it's almost impossible to get rid of as it keep popping up
again.

I had a look around B&Q today. They are doing a bamboo that they call
'Jumbo'. I've had a look around the internet and since I can't find anyone
else with info on Bamboo 'Jumbo', I'm assuming that this is not the
official name for this plant.

The plant info card describes the height as 180-240cm, which doesn't seem
jumbo in comparison to some of the bamboos I've seen.

Does anyone know anything about this plant? Does anyone have any
experience
with it and tips on how it grows and how to treat it?
