Collected in From Surat Thani, Thailand, this variety of G.ligulata cleared USDA quarantine in 2018. Typical overall form for the species, its most notable feature is that it has predominately WHITE culms. Thin green, irregular pinstripes remain on the culms but white is dominant. White culmed bamboos are most often the result of a powdery white bloom that covers new shoots and young culms of certain bamboo species. There is no powdery bloom on this bamboo. The white appearance is simply the ornamental effect of this particular culm striation pattern.
Grows to about 25' tall with 1.5" dia. culms. Minimum temp. 29 degrees F. Min USDA zone: 9a. Click to find your zone.
