DINOCHLOA MOREHEADIANA

200' height, Shade/sun, 35 degrees F Minimum, Clumper.  Vining bamboo which climbs up other bamboo or trees, & thus gets very tall even though the canes are not very thick.  Imported by the ABS into the U.S. from Australia in the 1980's, didn't do well.  Not known if it now exists in the U.S. or not.
