| Bambusa textilis gracilis - Graceful Bamboo |
|
A beautiful all-green bamboo that's often planted in a row to create a privacy hedge or screen. Also makes a delicate focal point in the garden when planted as a single specimen. Foliage cascades gracefully with leaf tips pointing downward. This would be the ideal bamboo to plant as a screen in similar applications as Areca palms or ficus are used. For this type of application, they are planted in a row 3 to 5 feet apart. Spacing depends on how dense and how quickly you need your hedge.
About 23' - 27' tall with about 1" dia. culms.
Min. temp 21F. Min USDA zone: 9a.

| Bambusa textilis purpurescens - Purple Textilis Bamboo |
|
A distinct variety of Bambusa textilis that develops purple/black culms.
The culms darken over a much longer period than Bambusa lako or Gigantochloa atroviolacea. Each new shoot takes up to a year after culm development to complete the darkening process. Sunlight, even filtered sunlight, is important to develop the dark culms. Any culms that are fully shaded will remain green.
Since 2012, we've made seven attempts to import this bamboo, each time the propagules not surviving the import process. Finally, in 2016, another attempt succeeded. Two offsets were collected at South China Botanic Garden and sent to USDA quarantine. These were cleared and released in 2018. They're now growing in our test field and propagation began in 2020.
These are now available.
About 25' - 30' tall with about 1 1/2" dia. culms.
Min. temp 21F. Min USDA zone: 9a.

| Bambusa vulgaris 'Wamin' - Dwarf Buddha Belly Bamboo |
|
A dwarf bamboo that is perfect by a pond but will fit just about any landscape. Swollen internodes are unusual and are sure to attract your visitors' attention. This bamboo could have been conjured up by Tim Burton or Dr. Seuss.
In Florida (and other warm, humid areas) this species is much more reliable and consistent in producing swollen internodes (bellies) than the first species given the name Buddha Belly Bamboo, Bambusa ventricosa (tuldoides).
*If this bamboo is too cold sensitive for your location, we have an exciting new import that may become a good substitute for sub-tropical areas down to USDA zone 8b. Bambusa tuldoides "Swollen Internode'.
12' - 15' with up to 3" dia. culms. Min. temp 27F. Min USDA zone 9b. Click here to find zone.

| Dendrocalamus brandisii - Sweet Dragon Bamboo |
|
The D.brandisii in the USA, for decades, has been a variety with the common name 'Teddy Bear Bamboo'. In recent years, a Black Brandisii became available. They're both spectacular, produce edible shoots, and have excellent timber. Neither, however, are true D.brandisii and are likely hybrids of D.brandisii and another species (likely D.asper or D.hamiltonii).
For many years, I've hoped to acquire a true D.brandisii. In 2014, I happened upon a stunning focal specimen in Guangzhou, China's South China Botanic Garden. Our lunch that day was bamboo shoots from the same specimen.
It took some work (begging and trading) with a garden worker who quietly dug off a small section for me. This was sent via DHL to the USDA in Beltsville, MD for quarantine. It survived and, in March/2015, it was released to us and is now growing in our test-fields.
There is massive farming demand for this species.
Highest quality shoot producer - edible raw.
60' and 5" dia. culms in FL.
Min. temp. 26F. Min USDA zone: 9b

| Dendrocalamus elegans - Elegant Bamboo |
|
This is a delicate, smaller bamboo with small leaves. It shouldn't exceed 18' tall and will work well in containers or small spaces. The thin culms are silver/grey and the thin, feathery foliage cascades beautifully.
Ideal for privacy screening/hedging when planted in a row on 3' centers. Hedge-trim 2x per year to maintain a dense, privacy screen at whatever height you need anywhere between 6' and 15'.
From Thailand, Malaysia, & Langkawi Island. Grows on limestone hills and cliffs - performs well in the alkaline soil of South Florida. This cultivar was isolated amongst seedlings by Dieter Ohrnberger (author, The Bamboos of the World) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We transported a propagule to Kunming, China in the summer of 2012 where it was shipped to USDA quarantine. Has been growing at Tropical Bamboo Nursery with wonderful results.

| Gigantochloa atroviolacea- Tropical Black Bamboo |
|
This has been the most popular tropical black bamboo during the past decade. Although the newer B. lako has become our top selling bamboo, there's still plenty of demand for this beauty. It is a tight clumper at the base but opens up as the culms arch outward, like a fountain. A perfect focal point for any garden.
Up to 40' with 3" culms. Min. temp 28?F. Min USDA zone: 9b. Click to find your zone.
