WOW! That's one really tiny lady! She can't be more than a foot tall.

Remarkable!! I've never seen bamboo that large! And a runner on top of it! Too cool...

Don't think that's a runner...looks like Dendro. Giganteus.

all in all that is some big bamboo. pretty amazing.

A big bamboo that won't grow here.

The real question is whats in the bottle(in the linked pics), if it makes the Boo that Big, I want some for my bamboo!

Azhrei

Do any of you grow this ? Some sites say 25 degrees. I'd like to hear it from someone who grows it. There is always room for one more bamboo !!! Rich

Dougiefresh- is that one growing in Texas. I wonder how suitable it is for construction?
Really nice, thanks for posting it!

That is some huge bamboo, as is the other clump in the link. I saw some D. giganteus in Costa Rica and it was the biggest bamboo I have ever seen, just massive.

And Azhrei, that is a bottle of beer known to make bamboo produce massive culms in Germany, kidding, it's just a Black Forest Pils, very tasty too.

I bought 20 dendrocalamus giganteus seeds on ebay and 1 germinated. It's about 10" tall now.

Glad y'all liked it. No, it's not here. I don't think it will grow that big in here in Houston. Now, it will get big enough that you will have something to write home about and impress (or scare) your neighbors.
