Dendrocalamus brandisii, known as Teddy Bear Bamboo, is a massive, tropical clumping bamboo native to the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It produces thick-walled, straight culms that can reach 60–80 feet tall and 5–7 inches in diameter, covered with a distinctive white powdery bloom when young. The culms are highly valued for construction and crafts. This species requires a frost-free climate, ample water, and rich soil. In cooler regions, it can be grown in very large containers with winter protection.
