You need bamboo just hop in the truck and come on over. Every one but us
grows running bamboo for privacy fences. They always welcome cutters. Found
an elderly lady down the way who has some on her east property line that is
2 or 3 inches in diameter. Reckon we'll go cut some this week, I do want to
make some arbors out of split bamboo.
