Would someone please go to south africa and find the other forms of Bergbamboes?; Thamno. tessellatus? Discover the ?Pygmea?? The ?Erecta?? The ?Humungus?? It's only been collected once!? Are there any blooming records on this? Can you forgive me for sounding whiney?
It does so well here in Puget Sound. Full blistering (snicker) sun: Yes! Full shade: fine. 8°F one night: no effect. And except for the raggedy sheaths, nice conformation. But please, only one form?

Now it's four years later; was I TOO whiney?
We could be so close, what with all the traffic to S.A. and back.

No way to legally import bamboo now so you have as good a chance as anyone to go get them!

I am beginning to really like my Thamno I thought it was dead after last winters brutal cold. but as you can see it has come back quite well. I wonder if somewhere out in the wild there is a superior clone.
