Which kind of CANE should I plant?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hillbilly:
Japanese arrow bamboo (Pseudosasa japonica), native swith cane (Arundinaria tecta), Tonkin cane (Arundinaria/Pseudosas amabilis) and some of the Sasa bamboos are all good for arrows. All are also aggressive spreaders. The Bambusa multiplex is commonly called hedge bamboo, and is only hardy to zone 8. It should grow fine in La., though.

redwasp:
what if you kept it in a pot inside would it grow the same?   (bambusa)

Pat B:
You better have tall ceilings. It grows up to 15' or so tall.

mullet:
 Like Pat said. The best arrows I have found of Jap Arrow boo is when I bend the 15'rs down and cut the top 4' off.

Mechslasher:
don't get in a hurry about harvesting.  i transplanted some jap arrow boo and some sasa boo to my farm about four years ago and i've yet to cut a shaft.  can't wait until it takes off!
