Help ID this bamboo

12 years ago

I used to post here years ago, I recently moved to a new house with bamboo in between us and our neighbor, So far I have cleared out alot of vines and small shrubs and dead bamboo. I am hoping this bamboo will fill in very thick and make a good screen.

Removing all the vines really opened up the area and it looks better but we lost some privacy.

Let me know if you can ID this from the pics. Some of these Culms are 30 feet tall I would guess.

It looks like a Vivax to me.

joefalco,
congrats on your new home.
It's NOT golden, it doesn't have leaves toward the bottom of the canes.
Nice stand of boo though.
I see it likes the sand.
So mabey my golden has a chance. LOL!
Good luck with it.

Thanks for the replies,

NO it does not have leaves toward the bottom of the culms. MKy hope is that it will grow in more dense now that I have cleared out some of the competing plants and vines. The vines killed many pieces of bamboo.

I also thought about harvesting some Palm seeds and planting some of them for undergrowth, I know it will be a slow process but It would looks good eventually if I could get them to grow.

I think this is about the time of year to get seeds from Sable Palms around town.
