Timber Bamboo (Palo Alto, near Cal Ave)

I just transplanted these shoots into a container so they don't have much in the way of root yet, but I think I have got them at just the right time to make for an excellent plant. This is a bright green bamboo that, in the right conditions, grown fifteen feet high with stalks two inches in diameter. It is a runner rather than a clumper, but it is very slow growing so keeping it in bounds is fairly easy.
