Mystery Bamboo

Post by Poinciana87 »

Hi

I am new to this forum and would first like to say a big HI to all fellow bamboo lovers. I grow several types in my garden and I look forward to sharing information about these plants.

I took some photos today of a mystery bamboo I bought unlabelled. It has been in the ground for about 5 months and is starting to shoot. I am thinking it is maybe Bambusa vulgaris 'Vittata' but I can't be sure. Any ideas?

Thank you
