Temple or Japanese Palm Bamboo
       

     Semiarundinaria fastuosa

                    'TEMPLE BAMBOO'  or 'JAPANESE PALM'

     This species has very erect canes  which  age to a beautiful purple or dark reddish color. This the most erect species we grow. Mature culms are very straight, erect with foliage only  at the top one third of the culms. Often referred to as one of the red bamboo.  This species has quasi  persistent culm sheaths. Bamboo in its natural setting is free to roam finding just the right sun light and soil nutrients  to grow to its mature species size. In a container, it is not capable of this and will rely solely on your care.

In cold climate zones you must move the container into a protected warm area during the cold winter months.

 semidetached state for a number of weeks or months
after the new culms have completed their growth.
