(Suspect Phyllostachys vivax. This is very big stuff - diameters up to 4 inches and heights to maybe 60 feet. This grove occurs in the neighbourhood where I grew up, on a tract of land that was once a farmer's backyard, but has been untended for 50 years now.
Always surreal to see such an iconic plant of the tropics growing so happily here on the North Pacific Coast.)
Appearing also on My Corner of the World.

I like the way the sun is shining through the leaves. The bamboo sure is tall!
