identifying bamboo
My neighbour has a large clump of bamboo, which is about 10-12ft high, and I
really like it. It has large mid-green leaves about 10 inches long and light brown bamboo canes. Can anyone tell me what it might be? Here's a picture if that helps... http://www.REMOVETHISPLEASEbabyspide....uk/bamboo.jpg Thanks! LUCY |

identifying bamboo
Hi Lucy,
I am quite sure that it is a Pseudosasa Japonica. I have one on my garden that was planted in the ground 2 years ago and is very happy. There is loads of info on the internet about this bamboo, so a search on Google or similar would help you. Only slight problem is that they can be a bit of a runner, but this is relatively easily curbed with a sharp eye and sharp spade ;-! Hope this helps. Adam "Lucy" wrote in message ...

I buried corrugated metal lawn edging around mine and that seems to be keeping it in place. Colin Bignell |

LUCY Bambos grow very easily and quickly from a cutting but with any bamboo I strongly recommend planting it in some sort of buried container such a as builders bucket to constrian its spread. |
