Where can I get some Bamboo to plant?

[ctf58]

Guys I want to start a cane thicket like we used to have in Kentucky. This is the scientific and common name of what I'm looking for.
Arundinaria gigantea
Common Name: River Cane or Canebreak bamboo

I have 50 acres of river bottom land and a 5 acre slough and want to plant some on a levy and anywhere else it might grow. I want it for many reasons.
1. habitat
2. old fashion cane fishing poles for my kids
3. to make fishing structures

I am open to other species of bamboo only if it is a native American species. I do not want to let loose something that can hurt the environment.

Any information would be great!!

River Cane For Sale Wholesale

Thanks but they only offer it in bulk and it will cost about $200. I was hoping more along the lines of $50-$100

Any Western KY fella's got some good old fashion River Cane that I can get a start off of??? Anywhere between Owensboro Ky and KY lake. I'll come dig it. You will be welcome to use anything I can grow once it is established.

Take 94c towards Murray and there's a bunch of it growing on a strip of state land next to Clark's River. I've got a stand of it on my lease just a mile or so upriver of it that you could have some of as well but the ground will have to dry out a bunch before you could drive in there to get it.

Thanks Quack, I might take you up on the location. I might have a lead closer to home. Hope to hear something soon.

I was about to make a snarky post about the outdoorsman from Murray that never heard of the Clark's River.
