Re: ID Please
We could do with closer shots of the culms and shoots. Is it a clumper?

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

Pictures are on the small side and it is hard to get a sense of scale. I can't even tell the size of the leaves from the pictures. In what climate is it growing?

Re: ID Please
The fence is 2 meters, so the culms are a little over that.
And the leaves are about 5cm long.

Re: ID Please
Based on this and it being a clumper I would be tempted to say it was a Fargesia. Your location would provide more clues.Sirius wrote:The fence is 2 meters, so the culms are a little over that.

Re: ID Please
I emailed these photos to a specialist bamboo nursery(who I am visiting on Monday)
He seems to think this is vivax auriocaulis.

Re: ID Please
There's is a sure fire way to tell if it's a Phyllostachys- look at the branches. Phys have two branches, generally one larger than the other.
If it's a clumper, it will have multiple branches. I can't think of any single branched clumpers outside a few Chusquea forms which are pretty rare.
More pics would help. Off the cuff, looking at what you have posted, my stab would be Fargesia robusta of some form or other.

Re: ID Please
I blew up your pics as much as possible and it indeed looks like it has two branches= Phyllostachys.
The culm color looks reddish.... I can't remember vivax doing that, but the aureosulca forms sure do.

The culms aren't reddish. It must be a cast from the fence.ghmerrill wrote:I blew up your pics as much as possible and it indeed looks like it has two branches= Phyllostachys.

They are a very bright yellow.

Phyllostachys of some form then. There are lots of yellow cane forms, but vivax is one of the brightest.
Re: ID Please
I went to a specialist bamboo nursery on Monday, and went with a branch of this plant and the photos.
The person there seemed to think it is
Phyl bambusoides "Holochrysa"
His reasoning is as follows:
All gold canes with no green markings.
Smooth canes
Size and colour of leaf.
It also matched the plants he had on site.

Re: ID Please
Reading in my books last night, it seems that this is known as
Phyll bambusiodes "Allgold" in the USA.
