Re: clumping bamboo

I personally do not grow clumping or running bamboo.  Although I love it, I 
do not have the room for it.  I would like to add a Buddha's belly clumping 
bamboo to my collection, but as a pot plant, since it tends to "plump" out at the 
base (hence the name) when confined.  
However, my posting came from seeing many many different varieties of 
clumping bamboo at Peckerwood gardens just north of here by 20 minutes, and a friend 
that lives south (near Galveston) has the Buddha's belly in the ground, which 
is THRIVING, much to much for his small garden.  The canes are taller than his 
trees, and abundant.

Running like heat, for sure. Perhaps, with the clumping bamboo, heat, 
rainfall, and humidity are all factors. Which species of running bamboo 
do you have success with?
