There, I knew I had a picture of it someplace. My baby picture of my Illinois bamboo. It was about 3 years old in this picture. I planted it between the bar and the beer garden in the hopes that it would make a nice screen. It is in the middle right hand area growing around the lamp post. It has gotten very much bigger. I shall take another picture this summer so that you can see how very big it has become. Both the bar and the beer garden are far away from the house so I don't care how invasive it is. (The beer garden is not always this nice. In this picture it was set up for my grandson's wedding.)
