Bamboo question??

ok before you are quick to answer with they are invasive .......


i know that. i dont care. but is it possible for the same type of bamboo to be growing in hard right away and then a different clump of the same species growing in really soft then getting hard months later.

Bamboo question??
True bamboo will have new shoots that grow in soft then become semi-hard as they start to reach maximum height. Once there the new culm starts the hardening process and will have completed it when it starts branching.





It's hard to say what you are looking at, but last years bamboo growth is at it's maximum height and will only grow new leaves and branching year after year, whereas the plant as a whole will send up new shoots that will be larger year after year till they reach the maximum size for that species.
