These are the bamboos I dug up from the neighborhood. I planted them in a pot. And I hope to get some affordable wood stock from these.

Also yesterday when me and dad were hiking I took a branch of manzanita which I prepared by shaving and planting with rooting hormone and fertilizer. If that goes well I will share.

    There are a bunch of the tiny ones like I dug up sprouting all in front of the bamboo wall. I got an 8k pic but I can’t/won’t post.

      Everything in that photo is bamboo. You’re going to find that there is an underground root connecting them to the larger clump. That’s what you’re trying to get a good chunk of along with the sprout. If you have a pair of loppers or wire cutters they might help you get through the root if your shovel is dull. Keep the roots shaded and wet until you get them back in the ground. Looks like a good set up for success.
