took some photos the other day of my bamboos,its nice to see them recover from that horrible winter.

Very nice photos Jacko, especially the "up-shot"

Do you have a photo of the whole garden so that they can be seen in context?

try these

Looking great.

What would you do with them all if you ever moved?

Love that first pic, it's like a Windows Screensaver shot!

if i ever moved i'd take what i can and take cuttings/divisions of the big ones and give the rest to friends i suppose.

Looks AMAZING!!! My P nigra has put up the most culms ever this spring after the worst winter!

i dont think anybody that wasnt interested ina bamboo grove would ever take your house mate.

I know someone who would be interested:

good one roger.i bet a panda could go through my lot in a day.

some more pics taken the other day now that everything is fully foliated.

Roger, I nearly wet myself!

Lovely pics Jacko, inspirational! Love the path through the bamboo.

Your bamboos are looking very healthy Jacko.

Have you put up some sort of bamboo barrier in the first shot to stop the bamboos from flopping over?

ive left the old washing line in place on the right side that is at the height of 5ft 6ins,that holds back a lot.the nigra on the left has a rope around it at the 6ft mark.the rest of the canopy above flops over to form the arch effect and anything that flops lower gets pruned.

That arch looks stunning! A couple at large Cycas Revoluta or medium sized tree ferns at the camera end would look amazing.
