Need 3 bamboo identifications for a masters project
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2018 2:07 pm
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with identifying my bamboo samples for my masters project?
I am investigating feeding preferences of red pandas and have 3 bamboo samples which are in need of identification.
I can't give much description of height as they all grew a couple of meters tall with browse being taken for food daily. They are growing in northern England.
The first had leaves which were very small in comparison with the other plants. The second had much larger leaves in terms of length and width. The third plant had slightly thinner leaves than the second and were striped. I can try to answer any additional questions if anyone has them. Unfortunately, it is unlikely I will be able to get any more pictures (as the institution keeping the pandas is quite far away and I have finished data collection).
All the best,
Lucie
