short green groundcover bamboo
I dug this up from a house last October and thought that it had died completly this spring. It finally decided to grow and I think that it may now be indentifiable..

RE: short green groundcover bamboo
Look at my post dated May 10th and see if yours is the same. It looks the same to me.
It is "loose" in the yard now and it is the scarcest. I have P. v. 'Robert Young', Moso, S. fastuosa. P. nigra, S. japonica 'tsutsumiana', P. b. 'Castillon' and a few other that are also loose in the yard, but they are big and the culms can be cut down. (But I pot up most of these in the spring.) The little thing will leave a bear spot if I remove all the culms. And how do you keep it from running under all the shrubs?
I am seriously considering putting ?IT? in a section of the yard, but it just not sure yet. If I do I will have to put anything I install in that part of the yard in pots to keep the rhizomes out. It seems that most of the rhizomes of this plant run about 4 to 6 inched deep.
