Bambusa subtruncata

Description

Yellowish green longitudinal streaks on lower internodes. Beautiful striations on young shoots. Not a large-growing tropical bamboo – may reach 20′ tall.

This bamboo species was once imported by the FCC/ABS in the mid-1990s. No positively identified specimens could be located so we re-imported from China in November/2012.
