Bamboo (Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacea)

Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacea – Tropical Giant Bamboo

Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacea is a large, tropical clumping bamboo native to Southeast Asia. It produces tall, straight, thick-walled culms up to 50–70 feet high and 4–6 inches in diameter, used extensively for construction, furniture, and crafts. The culms are green, often with a white bloom when young. This species forms dense clumps and requires a warm, humid climate with abundant rainfall. It is not cold-hardy and must be protected from frost.
