Another one of my bamboo. I keep it inside of a pot even though it's in the ground. Neglect is what makes this bamboos culms fatter and more 'Buddha like'!

What an interesting bamboo - with a funny fitting name! Over here in Denmark we only grow yellow bamboo - Fargesia murielae.
I have one of these but mine is a 'toned-abs' bamboo. So you're saying that they have to be neglected to get that nice happy, rotund form? Worth a try : )
