DC:
On my Fargesia the nodes are much closer, about 6" so maybe the Bambusa is the way to go. My plant is young and the canes I measured are this years so they are still growing. The internodes may lengthen some. The nodes are so unobtrusive that a little sanding would take them right of so they might not be an issue. Here's a picture of one of last years canes that i cut this spring. It's still drying.

Pat B:
Generally bamboo culms(canes) grow to their intimate height and girth the first year then mature(walls thicken) the next year or so. The Bambusa also has nodes that are not excessive and the walls are thick with a small diameter hole in the center.

DC:
Sounds like i should have used Bambusa but it would be borderline hardy here. Dirk is in South Africa so he shouldn't have any trouble.
