Switch cane?
Pat B:
Never hurts to ask. The least they can say is no. By explaining what you want it for will usually strike someones interest and break down their defenses. Sometimes it works...sometimes not. Pat

Nope, I am good Dana. We have plenty of snow here still! :D
I am actually happy and surprised I found it in the most unlikely of places! I wasn't even looking!!!!! I just saw it and snapped a few photos to see what it was!
And no, it never hurts to ask. But I do believe he wouldn't have agreed if I hadn't had a further explanation of what I wanted it for and how I was going to go about harvesting it. He seemed very happy about me having some information of what to do. I believe otherwise he would've assumed I planned to just hack everything down!(And there is quite the little treasure stash there) So now i have plenty to play around with! And it will keep coming back again and again! Sure wish I could import this stuff to texas and grow it!
cowboy:
I might've missed something Joe, but where are ya/ where did you find this stuff?
joewaco78:
Right now I am visiting in Oregon hahahaha. Me and my lady were taking a walk in a park just enjoying and we stopped at a duckpond and boom.. Looked over and went wow... Thats alot of boo, got closer and all the the shoots were slim and very strong, I couldn't even snip a lil piece with my lil gerber. So I snapped a pic. I was still super excited about finding BLACK japanese arrow boo not 10 minutes earlier. But that one I know I can't cut as they don't have much of it yet. Beautiful stuff though. I will try to get a pic asap for ya. I will be back in tx by about next weekend with hopefully around 30 or so cuts.
Pat B:
Maybe the head guy will allow you to take a root cutting/division to take with you...just don't tell him you are taking it out of state. :o
Look up "bamboo" on line. There are sources for all sorts of bamboos. Your USDA hardiness zone map is a useful piece of info when ordering exotic, or any plants for that matter. Most bamboos are tropical or sub-tropical so if your area gets very cold it will limit the varieties of bamboo you could grow. Pat
