JACKPOT! (i think) and cane questions. (pics)

i wanna transplant some!
Pat B:
The bambusa I had came from near Hilton Head Is SC. The clump was 50 to 60 years old(maybe older) and only about 8' to 10' in diameter. My friend dug it with a backhoe, busted(hacked and chopped ;D ) into smaller clumps(about a foot or 2) and planted a 100' hedge of the stuff. Anytime I visit Richard I cut more bambusa. Where I live it gets too cold for it or I would have transplanted it years ago.
In an old copy of PA magazine Jay Massey wrote an article about using river cane for arrows. He was visiting his wife's family on HHIs, SC and from the pic he had of the clump and the cane shafts he was straightening in the article I'd say he was using bambusa and not river cane.
aero86:
how can you tell the difference between the bamboos? there is some growing locally around here, i may stop by and see if i can grab some and transplant it!
Pat B:
You had better check the type and growth habit before transplanting it. Most bamboos will take over and can be destructive around driveways and foundations as well as covering your yard and your neighbors yard. It is very hard to control once it takes hold.
