Kusamono maybe?

Bamboo is a grass.
Kusamono are grass things.
Bonsai are trees in pots.
Next question.

I have 2seedlings growing... 1-2 clones.. only like 4” high.. recovering (ugly-like) from a cold snap and it’s move indoors..
In conversations with OL (Original Leo)... I’ve learned that it will be several years before identification is possible.

It it is an excellent job. Horsetail has its own very real charm and in general appearance it alludes to bamboo. Culture / care is quite different.
I have half a dozen bamboo in the ground, including two species of Fargesia that are tight clump forming bamboo. I also have a pretty good sized clump of Bambusa ventricosa, the "Buddha Belly" tropical bamboo. I am interested in communicating with other that may have bonsai bamboo. I thought I would find that here.
Thank you to everyone who has responded.

knot-weed bamboo bonsai anyone? just kidding. its extremely invasive. i heard Michigan property values are affected because they love growing thru concrete foundations and are super tough to get rid of.
