We have some growing on the property. I had my granddaughters cut cane poles for fishing. My late wife always preferred fishing with one, so the kids are excited to be making their own like g ma.
Anyhoos, there is a patch growing right by the driveway. Last weekend there were new ones spouting up. I could literally touch the top of the tallest one. Yesterday I noticed it all had grown a lot in a week. I went to the shop and got a tape measure. It was 115 inches tall. That's a lot of growth in a week. Today, I measured the very same one. Basically 24 hours later. It was a little over 123 inches. Wow.
I knew bamboo grows fast. But I thought a couple inches per day was the norm.
I wouldn't believe it if I didn't measure it myself.
I hate the way this site post pics. There is a 4 wheeler in the bottom of the photo!
