| Hello there, searching for an 8 to 10' clumping variety of bamboo that does well in the Portland area. Backyard is partially shaded. Looking for a variety that produces tall thick stalks. Want to harvest them and use as fenceposts and tomato stakes. Very new to Bamboo, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

| How thick do you want the culms to be? Kt |

| There are many bamboo that will do well in the Portland area. However, if you are talking about a clumper that only gets 10' tall, it will not have thick culms (perhaps 1/2"-3/4"). Also, a single clumper will not produce many new culms for a couple of years, and will not produce huge numbers at any time. What exactly are your requirements for culm size and numbers? |
