bamboo identification help

21 years ago

well my friend bought a house not to long ago and a couple of weeks ago he realised he had some bamboo growing. he didn't want it, so of course i jumped on it. i got it all home, but i have no idea waht kind it is. nor does he. so i am hoping u experts on here can help me out with figuring out what i have going on here. they all seem healthy enough, but i am wondering if any of these need special attention. any help would be appreciated.

thanx - Hitori

Species b: looks like Pleioblastus viridistriatus, a shrub bamboo. (Compare the photos that are posted for this species at www.bambooweb.info)

Species d: that kinky culm does look like Ph. aureosulcata to me, too.

Species e: definitely bamboo, and it's another shrub variety, like Sasaella masamuneana

I also agree with Thuja on Species a and c, looking like Phyllostachys and Bambusa, respectively, but I don't know which ones.

You made a nice haul there!
