| Bamboo clump about 3 years old |
When we first planted the bamboo it was a mere sprig not much taller or larger than a tomato plant. It is a dwarf plant and is not supposed to get taller than 8-10 feet.
After 3 years it has grown and is even larger than the example above but it has a long way to go to reach 8 feet.
The rhubarb seems to get along with the bamboo. The rhubarb was planted in the spot first and existed there a year or two before I planted the bamboo. The bamboo is larger than it was and partially covers some of the rhubarb. I love rhubarb pie almost as much as apple so I am hoping in another year it will be large enough to give me enough rhubarb to make our first pie.

Good gravy! lol That's one BIG bush! I have a bit of bamboo in my garden, which I've been trying to get rid of for YEARS. It just won't go away. Tch tch tch
lol It is very beautiful, though, and I do like the fact the shoots can be used for ink pens. At least that's what I've been told.
Have a lovely day, Mr. Lincoln!
Dear Miss Beth:
The "dwarf" bamboo clumps do not spread like ordinary bamboo and the stems are not big enough to make a tiny fishing pole for midgets. It is more like the grass that all bamboo is. I don't know how you can handle regular bamboo has it goes everywhere.
