Description
A rare Chinese bamboo noted for its widened culm nodes, like two closed cymbals. Used for walking sticks in Sichuan. Graceful, arching green culms with delicate palmate foliage resemble a large, lacey Japanese maple. Moderate runner.
Chimonobambusa is a genus of East Asian bamboo. They are native to China, Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar, and the Himalayas.

I planted a 5 gallon pot into the ground 4 yrs. ago in Eureka CA. It is now covering a 20 by 30 ft area. It seems to have small culms for a walking stick- nothing over 3/4 inch in diameter and reaching around 6-7 ft tall. It is definitely an attractive bamboo.
