Thanks. I got bamboo from two different locations. I am unsure what to expect. I think they both are yellow groove. I water them every night right now as its been pretty hot. Thanks for the response. Here is a picture of where I got the smaller bamboo from. This stand was at my parent's neighbor's property and has since been removed. The property was sold and is being cleaned up. I got mine just in time.

Nice save! Good looking bamboo, but I'm not convinced it's Yellow groove, at least from the pictures you've posted. In your initial post the first picture shows a bit of a yellow stripe, but not in the sulcus (groove) as far as I can tell. The second picture -- of bamboo staked along a fence line -- does show some kinks in one of the culms, which is a characteristic of Ph. aurea (which doesn't have a yellow groove), as well as a few other bamboo, including Ph. aureosulcata (Yellow Groove). Please take a look at the photos in the link below and tell me if that is what the bamboo you think is Yellow Groove looks like.

Yellow Groove

Here is some close up pictures of the bamboo I got from my parent's neighbor's. Which is the shorter of the bamboo planted along my fence. The tall bamboo is from another location. I will take better pictures of it tomorrow.

Ok...I agree that that looks like Yellow Groove. I'll be interested to see if the other one is a different species.

Thank you for your help. I am not new to gardening in general but I am to bamboo. So I am sponge trying to learn all I can. I will take pictures tomorrow. Thanks again for your time.

You could have fooled me. You staked them well, which is important with tall transplants, and you know that it's important to keep them well watered. Nonetheless, don't be surprised if you get some foliage loss. It's often hard to do such big transplants without some unavoidable, temporary shock.

Here is some pictures of the other bamboo.

Ok...that looks like Yellow Groove to me, too. The culms in the first picture of your initial post were so large in diameter that I thought it might be something else. But now that I see the yellow stripe in the sulcus, I agree with you. Please post back with more pix whenever these start shooting.

Well I saw these new shoots today from some I planted a month or so ago from my parent's neighbor's.

Yes, those are typical "whip shoots" that sometimes show up and they are an indicator that the divisions you took are healthy and doing well. As far as "real" culms that are of more substantial size and go straight up, I suspect it will take a year or two. But that's still good news.

Those are typical of a happy, healthy transplant.
