The Parker Giant is legend among bamboo aficianados......yet many of them dispute it......Go to www.bambooweb.info and join the forum....they have had expensive discussions about this bamboo....what it is and what it is not, especially those who think it is sold as one thing and being another. My understanding is that there is (or used to be) an example of it at Quail Gardens, but I am not sure and have never seen it.

Good luck!
