I got these bamboos from a nice lady here in GW. My husband and I digged them up from her house last fall. I like them so much but they are too tall for my small yard. Besides, my fish have been begging me for a bigger pond :). So if anyone's interesting in RUNNING Bamboo email me. I don't know the name but they are about 30feet tall (full grown), green. I cut them down to 9feet and they are in a raise bed I made to contain them. You don't have to dig them cause they are already up, just pull them apart. There are about 20 stalks. TT
