Pictures just do not show the real beauty of this bamboo.
Above left photo of S. okuboi showing its 8 foot height with one of our ground covers,
Sasaella m. 'Albostriata'. This is a supper screening bamboo that
spreads quickly to form a thick 8 to 14 foot privacy screen in
climate zones 6 and warmer. Large leaves are one of the very attractive
characteristics of this beautiful erect species.
Standing in front of our 12 foot Okuboi looking at 60 foot Moso in the background.
Here you are looking at three different species. The low ground cover is Sasaella m. 'Albostriata'.
In the middle is the Okuboi and next is of course our giant Moso grove.
Below are photos of this bamboo potted up for this year's busy
Spring shipping season. We have over 80 of these prepared at this time.
Notice the very erect canes and the long wide dark green leaves.
