From these pictures, can you tell me if it is some kind of 1. bamboo 2. switchcane 3. rivercane?







thanks for helping me out here.  Just want to know what it is that I have.

Pat B:
Its hard to say if it is switch cane for sure but it looks like it would be good for arrows. Cut a mess of canes and dry them. Cut only the ones that the paper sheath around the nodes has deteriorated. The ones with the paper intact are too immature.   Pat

DanaM:
Cut a bunch and send them to me and I will let ya know if their any good. man yer lucky.
Wanna trade I will send ya some snowballs for a few dozen of them ;D

Hillbilly:
Hard to say for sure. Where are you located? It could be switch cane, but it looks a bit thick and leafy. Could also be a Sasa or Jap arrow boo? What diameter are the canes? Like Pat said, it looks like good arrow material.

stringstretcher:
The biggest thing that I have seen in the bunch that I am cutting from, the 1st 4 pictures, are maybe 3/4" at the ground.  The wall thickness is at least half of the inside which is a lot thicker than come really crooked stuff I was given.  It is very straight, and none of it is over 12 feet tall.
