Description
A stately, upright giant timber clumper which grows 20 to 30′ tall in northern California and taller in the south. One of the most cold-hardy subtropical species. Forms a very tight column of elegant, blue powdered, 1 ½ – 2″ blue-green canes, shaded by well foliated, arching tops. Excellent for either screening or free standing ornamental. Hardy to 13 degrees. Considered a choice bamboo for weaving because of its strong yet pliable fibers and the absence of prominent culm nodes.
