OK, I'll play. Top down:
Arundanaria tecta (switch cane) or possibly Bambusa
Japanese arrow bamboo (Psuedosasa japonica)
Either Phyllostachys spp. or Arundanaria gigantea (giant river cane)
Smoky Mountains, NC

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

 .........Ok, ding ! ding ! weiner, sorta ! ;D Hillbilly (Steve) an Ridge Runner are correct 'bout bottom one. Its Arundinaria gigantia also called giant cane. Patch I get it from has some that are 25'  tall. Second one is also Arundinaria gigantea but what is the species called ? Hint: I harvest it in No. Fla. and it grows all over Va., No. an So. Carolina an Tennessee. Rattlers (canebrake an diamondbacks-eastern) luv the ground litter under it fer huntin' an shade as do coral snakes and copperheads.  :o ;D What is top one ? Any guesses ? Hint: Its also called "Teatree Bamboo" ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D.......bob

Pat I think Bob threw in the color to fool you.  I bet it is dogwood or something obvious.  Justin
