Survivor Bamboo - identification, please
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 4:29 am
Hi all,
The better half and I were out walking the neighbourhood and we found a small trail leading to a park next to a house. There was evidence of some very tall bamboo (1-1.5" cane) that were long since dead, but there are a few small shoots/canes growing up around it. I don't know what it is, but it's a Phyllostachys with the grooved culm.
The culms are a solid green, with no compression - 4ft tall at the max - but the dead cane (background) is large, so shows that this was big in its heyday.

Zone 8A, Pacific Northwest. A quick googling - maybe a heteroclada (water?)
Thanks,
