The ideal screening plant! Very popular with landscapers - if you've seen photos in a magazine of bamboo, this is most likely it. 

Spectacular and very dense this popular clumping bamboo grows straight and can form a strong thin walled, almost vertical screen. The Culms are long between internodes (40 to 60cm). Visually, there are no leaves or branches on the lower quarter followed by masses of long green pointed leaves makes this a striking bamboo.

Younger dark green culms have nodding tops that will turn gold in the sun when mature.

This bamboo can grow up to 8m in tropical climates, but in Sydney and other southern regions may grow closer to the minimum range of 5-6m tall. Easily to prune to any heights (down to 1.5m ) to form a thicker hedge. 

Prized for its strong weaving splits and for general handcraft uses. Very cold tolerant.
