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.

This is a very elegant species that is native to Japan. Above photo show our friends, Pete and Pat, looking at one of our groves of Fastuosa. They just started there new grove with a 8 foot specimen plant.


The culms are erect and a deep green with a hint of purple.

This bamboo has quasi persistent culm sheaths. They often hang on in a semidetached state for a number of weeks or months
after the new culms have completed their growth.		Fastuosa Bamboo
