ID Practice #2

Here are more shoot photos, these are easier to identify I think, the exact species on one of them is impossible to name as it is a cultivar of the primary species.

Yes, all correct #3 is actually nigra 'Megurochiku' but it is a form of nigra Henon so you can not tell from the shoot. I think all but #1 are correctly identified and it will be easy I think, so this will be 20 bamboo that forum member have identified from only the shoot photos - no other information. But the juvenile bamboos you can not do this with because they do not show true form yet and usually when people ask for ID help they are juvenile plants!

#1 P. viridis

you're right with juveniles is more difficult or even impossible. Thank you for this good practice and your matures shoots pictures
