Phyllostachys bambusoides
'Japanese Timber Bamboo'


 


Under ideal conditions this species will grow to over 70 feet.
 The wood is of excellent quality and very hard
 with thick culm (cane) walls.This mother form of
Slender Crookstem and its other subspecies.


This giant timber bamboo is slow to reach the mature
 listed sizes of
over 70 feet by a full 6 inches in diameter.

Only under ideal growing conditions of great soil,
full sun and in climate zone 7 and 8 will it reach
 mature sizes.

Top damage to foliage and canes with

 the temps drop into the teens during winter months.
 This the slowest of the temp bamboo species to size
 up in zone 7 for us.



This species does make a beautiful walk through grove and thick
 privacy bamboo screen while waiting for it to size up.
