Kreos are they your bamboos in the photo?
Re: best bamboo for large canes
Shanghai 3 is producing the thickest canes here but oddly it's shorter than any of the other vivax's, my huangwenzhu is next but is about two metres taller...

No, that's 28 old grove 50 km from m house. I started to collect bamboo 4 years ago, so my boos are still small.Yorkshire Kris wrote:Kreos are they your bamboos in the photo?
