I just ordered some Semiarundinaria fastuosa from bamboo plantation. I ordered 5 small 1 gallon plants.

I am planning on planting along the chainlink fence. I currently have some Bambusa Multiplex goldengoddess near the end of the chainlink fence. I am adding pics so you can see them. The Golden Goddess is just starting to get established at about 6 feet tall at the tallest.

Should I dig up the Golden Goddess and where should I move it to. Do you think around the pond would look good?

This area is about 25 feet long.

Tim,
How often do you get temps below 0*F? If you get below that every year then 25-35 ft might be a stretch. Two of the ones that I have that might make it are Phyllostachys bissetii and Ph. rubromarginata with the Rubro sizing up faster but it also has more aggressive rhizomes.
