Hi,
I am fairly new to growing bamboo. Just started last year at the "Spring Fling" in Bayside, Texas. I now have quite a few bamboo. You can go to our bamboo page from: http://home.swbell.net/txada/
I am trying to identify a bamboo that I purchased as dendrocalamus hamiltonii. I have a page with pictures of both the hamiltonii and a bamboo I think is actually dendrocalamus strictus. I refer to it as "fuzzy" for now. The link is at: http://home.swbell.net/txada/bamboo9_2003/
I just joined the Texas Bamboo Society and the American Bamboo Society. I am hoping to meet other people with this interest and get assistance in identifying what I have. Later I will need assistance with a clumper that I make about 40 cuttings from. I believe the clumper to be beecheyana... although I am not sure. I will wait until I have larger plants and then take pictures. The cuttings I made have been in the ground now about 5 months and have already put up new culms. The leaves are rather large on the parent plant - about 12 inches long. The new culms don't have leaves that large, but leaves from new branches are. This was my first shot at reproducing a bamboo plant. It really wasn't that hard and I only lost one due to overwatering.
Thanks in advance for your help.
