One of my local farmer friend took me to one of the land he farms... and in the middle of the rice field there is a HUGE bamboo grove about 15 feet wide and 150 to 200 feet long dense bamboo grove... some of the boos well over 30' tall!

{{gwi:408445}} all the matured culms are green from about 2-3"

They are the definately "Phyllostachys" you can see it from this pic

Can any one able to ID this bamboo ? I dug up 3 small divisions of them and planted them today! and I can have as much bamboo as I can! and is only 25 mins from my house!

Thank you for all your help in advance
