x Thyrsocalamus liang striata (Bambusa nana var. striata) – Tropical Candy Cane Bamboo

Description

This exciting variety of the species has the added feature of striated culms, with the stripes transitioning in color tones as the new shoots develop. The stripes range from green to yellow to pink, red, and orange shades.

Typical tight clump form for the species with erect culms that are naturally branchless on the lower 1/4. Somewhat thin leaves present a feathery, delicate touch to a majestic overall form.

This bamboo was imported from N.E.Thailand and the single, small specimen was released to us in 2018. It is now mature in our test field.

UPDATE: We now have well rooted specimens in 3 gallon containers. These are available in limited quantities. When all are sold, there will be no more available until next spring.
