Phyllostachys bambusoides

'Slender Crookstem'


This is one of the giant timber species that is breathe taking inside
a large grove.



The wood quality of all bambusoides species  is excellent. Slender
 Crookstem is very straight and the thick walled canes make it one of the
 toughest bamboo. Around 10% of the grove will have a very slight
 bend located in the lower portion of the culm.







 

  
 In the warmer climate zones 7 and 8, you can expect this beautiful giant to grow over 50 feet
 in height. Slender Crookstem is more hardy than typical Bambusoides Timber Bamboo and much
quicker to reach large sizes. This is one of our best species for bamboo privacy screening.
The above planting is 4 years old and has hundreds of 18 foot canes. Note how the canes
 under 2 inch diameter have full foliage nearly to the ground level. This provides
 excellent screening with a giant timber bamboo. I have measured this bamboo in
 our area at 55 feet in height and 4 inches in diameter.


 
 The wood is absolutely beautiful and it is a very fast growing species. Below
 are photos of two orders being processed for customers picking up here. When
 you order in groups of 10 this size division is only $90 each.
