Default Re: clumping bamboo

The only clumping bamboos I have are the fargesias which don't do well in the southeast, but thrive up here in the north where it never gets hot.

What's wrong with growing running bamboo? I have around 20 or so species of runners, and they're pretty cool. You can actually train a running bamboo to grow like a clumper, and your climate is probably perfect for a lot of running species.
