It's growing off a Bambusa textilis "Mutabilis" culm ('Mutabilis is the mother culm). But it looks just like a Bambusa textilis 'Kanapaha' culm. I'm getting confused with these 2. The only way I can tell the difference is to look at the name tags. So I'm stuck as to whether to move it or not because it's definitely headed toward the 50 foot mark.

I see, I see! Didn't catch it at first. I've been looking for my tongue and you know where I found it!
