best bamboo for arrows?
DC:
I agree with OO also but whatever bamboo they use for garden stakes makes good arrows. When you buy a bundle at least half of them will remain garden stakes.
Dante_F:
im wanting to plant some to grow so i do have a wide array of options so what do you recommend? not looking to buy the shafts but the seeds and grow em )P( I kinda just want an infinite supply >:D
DC:
You are better off to buy them. There are two types of bamboo, spreading and clumping. Spreading will take over your back yard and your neighbours, Clumping goes from a two foot circle to a ten foot circle in 5 years. At least mine did. They are both very hard to get rid of. Eventually you will spend all the time you wanted to make arrows in trying to control the bamboo. Also in a couple of years they will be producing way more shoots than you will need unless you like just flinging arrows into the sea. Buy 25-100 garden stakes or premade shafts and you will be time ahead.

Where do you live? Most bamboo can't take real cold temps. And, like DC said you better know which type bamboo you are planting, clumping or spreading. If it's spreading type you better have lots of room and understanding neighbors. (A)
Dante_F:
i live in sw washington and am going to plant them in large pots so spreading wont be to much of a prob and it doesn't get too cold here.
