Growing arrow shafts in pnw

<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
Bambusa multiplex may grow there in a protected south facing area. It is a clump type(not spreading) bamboo with round, thick culms with a small center hole, no sulcus(indentation above the node), slight nodes and long(12"+) internodes. Generally 2 nodes to the arrow. The culms grow to about 15' long and also make good fishing poles and would probably be good for bamboo fly rods because of the thick walls.

Dante_F:
thanks guys for the info and suggestions, i think ill maybe go with the clumping bamboo and some ocean spray for maybe foreshafts.

Ed Brooks:
They grow, what I believe is river cane down along the coast as an ornamental plant. I like to bring some ever time I go down there. Ed
