Bambusa Multiplex Hedge Bamboo

Bambusa Multiplex Hedge Bamboo

This is a tropical bamboo with a thick, clumping habit.  It is probably the hardiest of all the  multiplex clumping bamboo that we grow. Though it is supposed to hardy to 12ºf-15ºf  we have seen it take 5f with heavy mulching.   New culms appear late in the Spring.   In the inland valleys of the Pacific Northwest, it usually grows to about 6′-10′.  In warmer areas of California and the South it will grow to its full height of 15'-25'. It makes a great screen or hedge.  Any of our  Bambusa multiplex would make a nice addition to an interior scape.
