Sasa - Small cold hardy running bamboo with large leaves with a tropical look.
      

Sasa palmata -'PALMATA BAMBOO'
  (Nebulosa)
Fast spreader in USDA Climate Zone 7.

Plant introduction number (PI) into the U.S. 75169

Average mature size  . 5" x  7'      Hardy to  -5 F            
Prefers Shaded Sites
 

     This little bamboo from Japan really adds the tropical feel to any garden. Its leaves are arranged in a palm shaped fashion. With its leaves measuring  up to 15 inches long by 2.5 inches wide, it is a great addition to any garden. Handles all planting sites with wind and drought conditions not being a problem. Young shoots can be eaten and the foliage is highly used in decorations. I have two reports back now from 4 year plantings in zone 5 that is one has remained evergreen to -10 to -15 degrees. 

At this time I still would recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer.

Sasa tsuboiana
                                   

Sasa tsuboiana
  
Average mature size   . 2 "  x  10'      Hardy to -8 F     
Prefers Shaded Sites
 

     I prefer this little bamboo over Sasa Palmata. It looks great with similar growth habits while remaining shorter in height. This over looked Japanese bamboo that has large leaves which are dark green.  It is so hardy it adapts to heavy sun light areas as well as shaded sites. In colder climates, it acts like a ground cover staying one to two feet in height. Great bamboo and easy to maintain.

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

Sasa vetchii                   
Sasa vetchii 
'KUMA-ZASA BAMBOO'
 
Average mature size   . 5" x  5'      Hardy to  -4 F     
Prefers Shaded Sites
 

     The foliage of this one is its lure. From Japan this bamboo has large leaves that turn white along the margins in the fall while the rest of the leaf stays green. From south west Honsku, Japan this species is widely used in gardens now. Its winter foliage is breathe taking. Plant this one in the shade and it can handle a lot of moisture.  Difficult to transplant this one, so availability is generally very limited.

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

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