i am chinese in north china, i want to know  the bamboo particular  producing are， botanical name, price , thanks

Jiao,
The botanical name is Fargesia spathacea. I believe that this bamboo grows in the more mountainous regions of China. It is wdiespread and is the bamboo favoured by your ancestros for arrows and also by Pandas for their food!
Email me at markdesignhill@aol.com if you want to discuss any further information.

A little update. I just got a delivery of 5000 tonkin shafts from my Chinese supplier. They are sorted by diameter between 7mm to 9mm. Hidden within the shipments are some that the supplier has spine tested with a machine he made following plans and photoes I sent him. I'll be checking the shafts he spine rated to see if his machine is set up correctly.
I'll need to spine rate these 5000 before I sell them but if the supplier has got it right he may shortly be selling spine rated shafts on ebay.
