I guess what I'm seeing is not natural then. I've seen the type you noted around the Broad River, but this type I've been grabbing from places is much larger - some stalks are probably up to several inches in circumference.

Speaking of which, when bamboo measurements are given, are they talking about circumference or diameter? If it's diameter, then the largest I've seen in the groves are 2-3".

Here's a really bad photos of some very small pieces I've gotten a hold of. I'll post better photos once I have them. I have a decent stalk in the garage potted still.
