This is a beautiful grove with Indocalamus
tessellatus growing
as an under story plant.
|
|
 |
|
This culm is approaching maturity of 2
inches.
|
|
 |
|
This bamboo
is widely used
as an ornamental because of the occasional zigzag pattern that occurs
in
the lower quarter of the culms. The culms also have a sand paper feel.

| Here is a Aureosulcata
privacy screen next to a house. |
This thick screen hides the entrance to the
garage. |
 |
|
P. aureosulcata is another species that
makes a good privacy
screen. You can see that not every cane has the zigzag pattern in the
lower
part of the culms.

our mail order customers with stable plants.

Below photo shows over 300 of the 3 gallon 'Yellow Groove'
we prepared for shipping via mail order.

This
bamboo is very cold hardy and
grown widely
in the United States.
The culms are very erect, making it suitable for
planting around paths and roads. The shoots are edible.
