RE: Sizing up bamboo: What's in your mind?
Mike you are pretty funny with your scale... I have yet to see anything in my area over 30 ft. so 30 ft would be big 15 ft would be medium 5 ft small this is the biggest shoot year for me. YG is about 12 to 15 ft on some of the shoots....maybe 3/4 inch dia culms....everything else..relatively small....

RE: new shoots in NJ
I am now seeing some of those Nuda shoots. looking good...although Nuda seems to be a thinner type of boo vs the YG. My bissetti that i got from Mike is shooting. I am very happy it is doing well.

RE: new shoots in NJ
