Got it in one. Any of them would be OK. The plants have that lovely black red colour on the culms for a short while after the culm leaves drop off, which is just like P. nuda.
Your dad has the number. Give me a bell.

That’s one of the few I’m not 100% on – It came from PW as part of a second batch after the first lot did so well and we spoke about a load of different varieties before taking a couple home, one of the only other things it could be if not viridiglaucescens or nuda is P. dulcis which would fit your purposes rather nicely.

I don’t get up to Lincs from Guernsey too often but i’d love to check out your place sometime when I’m back.

Small world indeed. Some of those bamboos are just starting to find their feet. Interestingly the P. viridiglaucescens that I got from your dad, identified by the supplier from a small piece, looks more and more like some P. nuda that I bought. Both are edible, so I’m not too concerned, but it would be nice to know for sure. If you want a wander around give me a shout.

stumbled on your blog whilst browsing through Permies looking for some thoughts to apply to my holistic orchard and woodland garden. I was pretty excited to find someone practising permaculture principles in my birthplace of Lincolnshire and even more surprised and delighted to discover that you got some of your bamboos from my dad, Vic. I’m his son Wayne – now I know why he was checking id’s on those Phyllostachys! You should have my email address from this comment so if you ever want anymore info on those bamboos or Dad’s trees just shout – I’m his memory when it comes to plant names.

Good look with your adventures.

Wayne

I’m really looking forward to all aspects of the convergence, but it’s the meeting people and chatting face-to-face that’s my favourite part… possibly over lots of wine and until about 3 in the morning (again).
