Holy moly! That's gorgeous, thanks for the info.

Molbak's also had this, but I am already growing what I assume to be the 'I' form.

So, did you buy one? Who's producing them?

I have Jiuzhaigou I as well - but I've sort of neglected it. the last form described on that page sounds cool.

Yes: I "picked" it. Although I'm not planning to re-sell it. Since it's destined for Camano Island and I've already had two other forms of timber bamboo get cold damage there this Precious will be going into the greenhouse for the winter.

The winter that may make some of us give up, if predictions are borne out.

I was told there is an enthusiastic grower in Oregon that provided these. The current price at Molbak's is so good, as far as it goes that anyone in the area and interested in the variety should just get one of theirs. They are in 5 gallon pots, with canes maybe around 4' high - perhaps more.

I've been kind of phasing out bamboos since I moved to Sequim. I had 99 kinds at one point when I lived on Bainbridge Island. I might have to leave a spot for this one, but I'm not buying it until I'm ready to plant it.

Apparently the one set of Molbak Fargesia are this one, today I went out there for the cider tasting and took a closer look at the labels on this bamboo. They had "2" after the name.
