Dendrocalamus latiflorus – Squash Blossom

Description

Obtained in a trade with a bamboo enthusiast in Taiwan. Three large offsets were sent to USDA quarantine and one survived.

It is an extremely rare, bizarre looking, tropical bamboo. It bellies like Bambusa vulgaris Wamin (Buddha’s Belly), however as it’s a mutation of Dendrocalamus latiflorus, it is massive.
To be test-grown and propagated, beginning in 2019.
