what is it?

Post by Alan »

please help! i'be been trying to id this one for about 18 months now and it has finally put up some true shoots. it was sold to me as dulcis which it is obviously not. the shoot looks like nigra to me but the new culms emerge from sheaths dark green gradually turning paler towards yellow with age. the first image is a true dulcis fyi, the subject is the second.

Henon is a likely suspect.
