Bambusa textilis (Weaver's Bamboo) - An extremely handsome clumping bamboo from China that arches gracefully at the tops of its 30-40 feet tall and 2 inches wide culms. The thin-walled culms, without branches on the lower half, provide for long straight culms of medium-wall thickness that are used for weaving and furniture. Culm growth occurs in summer with new culms having a light bluish cast before maturing to a pale green. Evergreen to 13 degrees F and thought to be root hardy below 0 degrees F. Plant in full sun. Native to the Guangxi & Guangdong Provinces in South-east China. This is an excellent bamboo for use in a specimen planting or planted as a tall hedge. The plant pictured on our website is in the bamboo garden of Paul and Denise Stefanson in La Mesa, CA. Photo courtesy of Ralph Evans of Botanical Partners.
