Hello,
I'm renting a little portion of land where to place my tomatoes production this year and i've found this little bamboo plantation. The owner doesn't know when they have been planted and what kind of bamboo it is. I've started a Phyllostachys Edulis nursery last year and when i've found this bamboo so thick (the biggest is more than 9cm thick) i was really glad, but i need help for the identification. I'm in Italy in the central area near the Adriatic coast.
Thank you
Mattia
Phyllostachys viridiglaucescens is supposed to be quite common in Europe. Phyllostachys aurea is extremely common as well. There seems to be something yellow on the photos, if older culms are getting yellow-ish (not the bright yellow aurea color) it could be viridiglaucescens. Leaves seem to be darker green than aurea leaves.
Additional questions would be, do the lower laying internodes look congested, deformed or much shorter than internodes above?
Do you have a photo of it's shoots?
