'Giant Timber' Hedge Bamboo - Bambusa oldhamii - 4" Pot
Bambusa oldhamii is native to China, and the most commonly cultivated clumping timber bamboo in the United States. The shoots are commercially harvested in Asia, and regarded as choice. It is also commonly used in furniture making, most notably in Taiwan. The culms are tall and erect, with an attractive dark green color. Branches are generally short in length, but the leaves are wide and long. Its large size makes it an ideal choice as a hedge bamboo where the spacing permits. Bambusa oldhamii is considered to be a drought tolerant bamboo. The large leaves of this bamboo give it what some would call a tropical look. If you want large bamboo canes with lots of foliage fast, providing a dense visual screen, this is the bamboo for you. Hardy in zones 8-10, patio or indoors. Height: 40-65 feet
