That’s about it, man. ;D

It minimizes the helicopter's hovering about. Bob

You got yourself some nice groves going on there. I like how you put them along the creek.

Normally it sets seed only every 60-120 years.And when it does,all the canes of that species die.World wide.I have had 2 varieties go to seed and ended up burning the dead grove(lawn).But if you have seed it is easy to germinate like most large seeds are.
So Mr Scott,seed ain't easy to come by.And that is for most of the families of bamboo.It rarely seeds.
