Praecox looks like Shanghai3???

Post by BooKing »

Hello all:

I was asking one of the nurseries here in the U.S. and they suggested that
Shanghai3 looks like praecox.Iam not famaliar with either of these so I am asking for some personal experience with these two. Theories? Thoughts? :?:

Hi Koniferkid,

To be fair, thats a good guess, however the true praecox has " internodes near base often with light yellow striae" (stripes) , #3 is lacking in this feature, the leaves on praecox are also smaller and curved/convex. But the shoots look very similar.

Bamboo...Please note... This plant is seriously addictive and you may lose interest in other, less rewarding plants!
