| I guess I'm looking in the wrong place on their website, but I still don't see those varieties. Anyway, I grow S. Okuboi ‘Birodona’ and S. Yashadake Kimmei and both do well here, however, they do not reach the listed height. They both do well with little care even with the three year drought that we've been going through. They tolerate heat and cold well here in zone 8b. Kt |

| Yes, I found them after I posted that earlier. They sound like great boos. I kept my okuboi in a pot for years before planting it in the ground. Unfortunately, I planted it just before this drought started and it gets little water, but I planted it under the canopy of tall trees and next to brush so that the sun doesn't harm it too much. It remains very short but has spread a few feet even under these conditions, so my guess is that it might be an aggressive runner if given the chance. The leaves are wide for their length as compared to other bamboos and the culms grow very erect. Leaves are mostly at the top of the culms which I like. Kt |
