Second, the sound of the wind through the leaves and culms is very releaxing. Third, the ground inside the grove gets carpeted with fallen leaes and husks, sort of like the ground in an old growth pine forest -- very aesthetically pleasing. Fourth, the silhouettes of the leaves and culms through my upstairs office window blinds when the sun shines from the west -- like a painting, but alive, and tells me I'm getting some shade to reduce the air-conditioning bill. Fifth, it's different than anything I've grown before, so it is somewhat new and challenging. Finally, sentimental value, as some of the varieties of bamboo have some memories with me.

Just curious, the stuff grows like a weed in my yard. :o) Did I miss a post on why you like bamboo? Just curious, the stuff grows like a weed in my yard. :o)
