Is this hill cane or river cane. It is growing near a damp spot on the end of a hedgerow. Around here it has always been refered to as reeds. I have seen pics here of very similiar stuff and it was called hill cane or river cane. Thanks for any help. Paul<><

Maybe rivercane?
always remember to put something in your photos as a reference- I don't know whether that is 3 feet or 30 feet tall...consequently, its a little tough to identify for sure.
Arundinaria sp.
well that narrows it down to 200 or so, Don! Do you know which variety? I can't tell from the photos what it would be without some info on size, diameter, leaf size, something to narrow it down.
Most of it is 6-8ft tall and about 5/8-3/4"
at the base.
Paul,don't know what it is but I cut some just like it in Bertie co. on Monday while turkey hunting.The place had it everywhere.Sure hope it is good for arrows.Will see in a couple of months.

It is not river cane. Phragmites? Bill
it's not a native species, A. gigantica or A. tecta. it's an asian species, that's about all i can tell you.
