Looks great...a very happy bamboo!

I now have seven culms this size coming up! The first one is about 18-20ft high right now and still has not started to branch out.

Here is a picture of the new growth this year for 2013. So far it is only one new shot, and compared to last year it is 2 weeks behind schedule. Last years shots got to around 25 probably closer to 30 ft tall. Once again this years new shots are substantially bigger than last year. This has been a really neat and fast growing plant for me.

Here's some more pics of my oldhamii, I have a total of nine new shots coming up!
