- Learn the difference between running bamboo and clumping bamboo. Bamboo is a fascinating subfamily of grasses that includes about 1,400 species. But we can divide them into two general categories: runners and clumpers.

What variety is that last photo? It looks stunning
The forest in the last slide is Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), the Chinese species that's used for most commercial bamboo products.
I have several Oldhami, one about 30' one 20'. Is it possible to dig out a culm and plant it elsewhere? I have a rotary-hammer and a demolition hammer, both can be set not to spin, just hammer. Would a spade (SDS-Max) type attachment work? I also have a "Radius Garden 31.5 in. Thermoplastic Handle Root Slayer Shovel/spade". I split a 5gal Oldhami in 3rd's, two are thriving in the ground, one died. Since I was cutting kind of blind through the root, ball after taking it out of nursery black bucket, my blade damaged that culm, my fault. I also have two Bambusa textilis in large (low) ceramic pots that I cut the bottoms out of and prepared the ground underneath, same question re those as to replanting culms; maybe bad idea to use power tool/hammer on smaller diameter culms. This is in the Sacramento / Roseville Ca area. Many Many Thanks!
Sounds like you've got some experience with this. Splitting clumpers can be tricky, especially timber species like Oldhamii. You might try cutting a young culm into segments and propagating that way. Read about it here: bambubatu.com/3-ways-of-propagating-bamboo-and-one-is-pretty-easy/ If the bamboo is in a pot, it should be a lot easier to remove and do a root division, because you'll see where you're cutting. Good luck!
