Bambusa multiplex Fernleafstripestem.

Southern China or Japan.
Characteristics
Grows 3-4 m high and 1.5 cm in diameter with an upright form, you can use it as a 4 m high screen where width of access is restricted. Quite different in form to its close relative "Fernleaf" which has a squat outline.
Use
Pot plant, bonsai, specimen plant in a garden, makes a good hedge. This is one of our current best solutions for a non-invasive privacy screen. This effect is clearly demonstrated in a step by step scenario, where Fernleaf Stripestem create an urban retreat, single handedly.

How fast will it grow?
Our Bamboo
Growth Simulation gizmo shows you the rate of growth starting off
with a small plant. Of course, growth rate depends a lot on climate, food and
water.
Small bamboo plants are slow to get going, so starting off with a bigger
plant will get you there much faster. Also, using the gizmo will show you the
eventual, un-trimmed shape in outline for this species. |
