Bambusa multiplex "Hedge Bamboo"

All the Bambusa multiplexes have numerous branches at each node. Branches low making a nice hedge in warmer climates. This has green leaves and green culms and is the hardiest of the Bambusas. Reports of its being grown at temperatures down to 12°F with minimal damage. In our climate it is a die-back perennial. We cut the tops off and it regrows to make a nice spring to fall landscape planting. From Virginia north, except those coastal areas rated as USDA zone 8, we do not recommend it as a screen.
