I have just purchased a bamboo from a garden centre but can not find any information on it. The ticket just tells me how high it will grow and to soak prior to planting.

Could anyone help me? The name on the ticket is:

How lucky you are to be able to pick that up in a garden center!
Maybe I'll be buying the same kind this year. I, too am a novice.

Go to http://www.americanbamboo.org, and read 1) their FAQ at
http://www.americanbamboo.org/FAQ.html, and 2) their General Bamboo
info at http://www.americanbamboo.org/GeneralInfo.html. Browse. I
found lots of information there to get started with. Have fun.

Yep, just do a search for american bamboo society and you will find lots
of info. Good luck.

I finally thought to run a search in this newsgroup for "fargesia,"
and found several posts from earlier conversations that you might find
useful, if you do the same.

A mountain variety, clumping, likes afternoon shade and won't do well
in full exposure.
