You may want to talk to some one about a clumping type of bamboo if you arent wanting the hassel of containment (rhizome barriers). |

[...] Guaduas tend to have beautiful deep-green straight culms, that don't taper off quickly, giving a very architectural appearance. I dunno if these can be had in the USA but the American Bamboo Society would know who would have them if so, and where they are already growing. Do you have any recommendations w.r.t. the specific Guadua species? I have no experience with them (that I know of :-). Basically, I'm looking for something that has relatively short internodes, straight culms, minimal tapering, and strong (thick-walled but not solid). If I read the USDA zone chart correctly, I'm in zone 9 which seems to be at the edge of the Guadua range. Thanks, John |
