***** I want to know if i can grow tall pieces of bamboo from some lucky chinese bamboo that i got in seattle. Preferably it would grow to be 5' 6', but I doubt that can be done with a good production of stalks.

**** Also, a neighbor grows some. It grows about 8'. This is the ideal bamboo, how could I get my own bamboo growing from his?I if you could help me that would be*nice.

Last thing, how would I dry the stalks of bamboo? I will be using them as poles for my garden.
