I need help starting bamboo
 

I want to start a bamboo garden in a climate where I know it grows. A
friend of mine has nice, tall bamboo at his house, but he didn't plant
it there. BTW, er live in Texas. Can I make some cuttings and plant it
that way. Any suggestions? What size do the cuttings need to be, how
long to hold them in water, etc. Does this have to be done at a
certain time of the year? Anything else I should know?

Thanks.
