Originating in warm temperate parts of India where it is much used in building and furniture manufacture, this is another fine Giant Bamboo. Growing to over 80 ft., it forms dense clumps of strong green culms supporting a mass of foliage. Now for a bad news, good news bit! First, the clumps can get out of control; second, particularly as the bitter edible shoots are highly esteemed in the Orient (but need to be prepared properly), these stands have the potential to earn copious amounts of money for the owners!
