Dinochloa hainanensis

Description

Vining bamboo that’s similar to Dinochloa malayana, but larger. It originated as a seedling on Hainan Island (China) and was brought to South China Botanic Garden (Guangzhou).
During a collection visit in 2013, I noticed it twisting and weaving its way through the canopy of several large trees. I had to have this jungle bamboo and sent a few samples to the USDA quarantine facility. Click to find your zone<
