    I guess nobody mentioned kanapaha can abort shoots when grown in wet dense soil.

      Yes, all bamboo can abort shoots, especially if planting location is less than optimal. No bamboo will do well if planted directly into wet, dense, or soggy soil. Planting on a mound or in a raised bed as I've done, I've seen best results. It's normal for new bamboo growth to have an attrition rate of around 20%. In some cases, about 25% of all shoots produced may abort as the plant attempts to balance its growth with available nutrients.

      @@SummervilleGardener Kanapaha is more sensitive than most is my point. It can abort all it's new culms not just a normal few. I grow 80 varieties and the top worst are cool buddha/swollen internode and kanapaha. It is pretty common that bamboo people make the mistake of planting kanapaha in the wrong place.

      ​@@BryceGarling Ah, gotcha! I hope mine goes well where I have it. It seems to be doing well and is in the process of putting out its first cane since planting.
