They are not really green in color but more of a light brown color and I was wondering if they are dead. This patch has not been touched for over 5 years but there are a few stalks that are 5-8 feet and have many leaves. These 5-8 feet stalks are perfect for what I have seen on this forum for bamboo condos. - If I was to cut these tall stalks down to 4-6 feet high, would the remaining stalk grow leaves and get bushy? - If I cut the 16-22 feet stalks, what can I do with them ? Thank You

Just ask Bill Cody and Esshup. Last edited by Cecil Baird1; 12/03/13 11:33 PM. If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
