Requirements
The Tea Stick Bamboo in the above right photograph is situated near a pond. Reflected in the water, I have two groves of Tea Stick Bamboo. Near water is where it can achieve its maximum growth.

A lovely bamboo with vertical culms and lazy green leaves.

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.
