is a type of bamboo called sasa. This is the Japanese classification
for small bamboo, akin to knee high grass.
There are many beautiful
species of sasa. Landscapers have yet to notice their potential. Small
bamboo is very decorative in a garden; it sets off rocks, paths, and
fountains well and may also be trimmed freely into whatever shapes
are appropriate.
Expansive plantings of sasa attract attention.

Inviting Bamboo for example is used to cloak mounds which

evoke a mountain stream. Sasa is grown for bonsai and container
plants.

| East meets West kind of approach. Compared
to a person, sasa is smaller than a baby. A close encounter of
the giant kind with a human being can be terrifying - for the bamboo
of course - this is the moment where a one to one genre of care
is required.
