Unknown variegated bamboo
I don't know much about bamboo. I saw this variegated bamboo today in Sacramento County (USDA hardiness zone 9b, Sunset zone 14). Anybody have an idea what variety this might be? (Photo taken with my phone)

Re: Unknown variegated bamboo
It looks like "Arundo Donax" to me. The variegated form. Not a Bamboo.
I could be mistaken though??? Ron... |

Re: Unknown variegated bamboo
There is also a pure green form, it's quite hardy and certainly in CA.
It's related to sugarcane as far as I know. It's not so invasive, i have grown it and it forms a clump, you need no barrier.. Someone overhere grows it in his pond in the water. Ron... |

Re: Unknown variegated bamboo
Thanks, guys, that looks like what it is. I read that it can be invasive in warmer regions as it self sows from seed. Though it reportedly prefers water, I found it growing in a non-irrigated bed of a parking lot which was quite dry.
