Indocalamus sp. - 'SOLIDUS'

Low Privacy Screening

Average mature size . 5 " x 8 ' Hardy to -5 F

Prefers Shaded Site

This rare bamboo has the distinct characteristic of having solid canes. The dark green leaves can be up to 10 inches in length. My groves are at 6 feet in height, but I do expect one site to reach 8 to 10 feet tall. In our climate zone this species will grow to over 10 feet with 4 or more hours of direct sun light. It has very lush foliage providing complete privacy from one foot to 8 feet off the ground.

I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer.

Indocalamus tessellatus
'GIANT LEAF'

Great Privacy Screening under 10 feet Average mature size   . 5 " x   10 '      Hardy to -10 F
Sun to Shaded Site

     This bamboo has the largest leaves of any bamboo in cultivation in the United States at the present time. It adapts to all planting sites. They can be up to 24 " X 4" They are truly large leaves and have many uses. For example Chinese and Japanese have used them in cooking by wrapping food in them prior to steaming. They also are currently being used in floral arrangements.
     This species is used in many countries for erosion control along flood plains. It makes a great indoor container plant since it adapts to low lighting very well. One of our groves has reached 12 feet in height along the river side of the grove. It has thousands of rhizomes (roots) hanging over in the water picking up just whatever water it needs through out our hot summer months. On new plantings this species will get leaf damage at around 0 to 5 degrees F. On older established groves it will remain evergreen to -10 with very little foliage damage.

I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 5 and warmer.
