Help Identifying Bamboo in my yard

Post by baughmanbl »

Hello,

There are two types of bamboo growing in my yard.. or at least I think there are only two.

One is about 20-25 feet high and is about an inch thick

The other is about 8-10 fee high and .5 thick.

I tried to look at pictures but to me they all looked the same. (Maybe it's cause I'm new?)

Any and all help with be appreciated!!

Brian

The bottom photo could be Yellow Groove because it has green culms and yellow grooves, and the size and height sounds about right for this specie. And I just learned that this bamboo has a rough texture when you slide your hand on the culm from bottom up.
