Bamboo id Opatija, Croatia

[kreos123]

This bamboo grows 150 miles from my house but on the Adriatic coast (climate zone
8a)
height around 17 m (55 feet)

Saw lots of bamboo when I was in Orasac, Dubrovnik area - ALL of it was Phy. aurea but this I believe is something else. Too bad you don't have a closer shot of the new shoots. One guess would be Nuda but I'm not very solid on that guess.

Nice size though

Could it be Ph. bambusoides

[ghmerrill]

I would day the shoots are too dark for bambusoides. I have never seen nuda of that size, so I don't know if the larger culms do the ziggy zaggy like the smaller ones do?

Hmmm..... How does plain Phyllostachys glauca sound to you brad? I've never seen it that size either, but who knows.........

[philippe smets]

if it is the green bambusoide it would be easy to recognize it with the leaves
because they are slightly curly.

[Tarzanus]

I'm almost certain it's moso bamboo - Phyllostachys pubescens. Dark shoots, green culms, height.. Must be Moso.

[Exotopia]

Tarzanus, I am quite sure this is not a Phyllostachys Pubescens.
Pubescens has striking cilia on the sheaths.

I would say that this is vivax. It could just as well be bambusoides if it were not for the bright white nodal ring at sheath fall, and the slightly side to side alternating nodal sections.

If not related, they must surely know each other

Phyllostachys viridis

[EBinNC]

i like viridis for this one also

[David]

Perhaps it is a mixed grove. The first shoot pics are not viridis, but the last shoot pics could be.
