Hello, I'm so glad to have found this forum.
I was wondering if you all might help me identify these potted specimens that I recently put in-ground.
The fellow I received them from said they were clumping type, but now I want to make sure since I've put them in the ground.
They have all come from large canes that were cut down for crafts.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
I trying to see as well as I can on my phone. First picture is of one going to seed . Others I think are bambusa oldhamii though I can't blow the pics up much. We had a oldhamii seeding at my work pretty heavily this summer though it may of been from stress

Thanks Cooper12. So I'm new to bamboo, is going to seed the equivalent of "help, I'm dying"?

Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
Check oldhamii photo posts (ref separate section). Leaves make sense but flowering is pretty distinct in old photos so I don't see a match. Need better pictures for sure. Seedlings look like 20 species I have seen, especially several bambusa's. . Where are you located and where did you get the plants? No ID on the plants? I don't think oldhamii have flowered for some time but plants could have been stressed. RGds
Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
No ID on the plants, they were cut out of a mass of a large thicket at someone's house.
I'm in Southern California. Which specific parts of the plant would make photo ID easier?
Thanks again!

Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
Cooper may be correct on Oldhamii if you live in socal. Oldhamii was first introduced to the U.S. via S. California so it's the bamboo of choice in many communities in the area, especially in the beach communities. If you live close to Escondido, check out Quail Gardens. They have an extensive collection of bambusas so they may able to help ID it. Re pitures - close up of culm, branching, and leaves may help. Rgds
Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
Thanks I'll take some better pictures tonight. According to the guy I got these from, they are all from the same plant.

Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
Thx for the follow up. The plant is so young that the normal identifying characteristics are blurred. Sorry - regards
Re: Request for ID of in-ground transplants
Darn, really?
Well these images were taken with my phone. Which specific parts of the plant will help if I get my dSLR camera out with a fast, long lens or macro to shoot it?
