Bamboo (Bambusa arnhemica)

Bambusa arnhemica – Australian Tropical Bamboo

Bambusa arnhemica is a clumping bamboo native to the Arnhem Land region of northern Australia. It produces straight, green culms up to 30–50 feet tall, used traditionally by Indigenous Australians for spears, didgeridoos, and construction. This species thrives in the tropical monsoon climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons. It is not widely cultivated outside its native range but represents an interesting element of Australia's native flora.
