Hi guys,
Kyushu danji, Thanks for the PM, will get back to you soon.
Stewart I think that the bamboo in your photo's is in fact Shibatea kumasasa as the leaves seem to be attached to the nodes along the stem and the old leaf tips are brown. On Sasa veitchii the
the leaf is a draker green and longer and the old leaves will have very distinctive dry brown edges all the way along the leaf.
All the same, its a really nice variety and if you can grab some without getting busted Id love to get some off you!!
