recurve shooter:
im new to this too, but i dont think so. if anything they should just be closer to being dry.

but wait on a more experienced reply.

mullet:
  I like to cut the yellow bamboo more than the green. I've found that it is yellow because it is usually Sun-burned, and seems to be tougher.

El Destructo:
My Bamboo aint growing....I guess this Florida Boo don't like the Texas Weather either.......... :P

Pat B:
I think our native canes(Arundaneria) grows in 3 year life cycles. The first year the individual cane(culm) grows to its ultimate height. The second year it matures(walls thicken). After the second growing season the paper like sheath begins to deteriorate. By the 3rd growing season the culm begins to die. The color gets more olive green then. Any time after the second growing season is the time to cut the culms. If the culm begins to turn tan(in the field) don't mess with it. It is too far gone(generally). Once you harvest the cane and have allowed it to dry, a few hours in bright sunlight will turn the faded green color of the cane to tan.

tiknuttle:
I cut one piece down that was a yellowish green color, more yellow than green and I brought it inside. After a day inside the house it started to turn green is that normal?
