Sasa palmata
This species is
beautiful and has a more tropical look than
your traditional larger bamboo.
The
thick, leathery leaves are up to 15 inches long by 2 1/2
inches wide.
Some
of our customers are growing this species
for use in live flower
arrangements.
It is hardy as far north as Boston and grows taller in cool climates.
Here
in the south, ours is about 8 feet tall. It does well in pots and looks
best when grown in the shade. Leaves wither around the margins
and
at the tips in very cold weather but will be replaced by fresh greenery
in the spring.

Sasa palmata is ideal for stabilizing
river banks
and used in reclamation schemes. In areas where extensive logging is
taking
place, this and other bamboos can be a useful material in preventing
the
loss of valuable topsoil.

Bamboo just has a way of
making
any landscape look a little tropical.
