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 Maculata
*New
|
A varietiy of textilis that develops a mottled or spotted pattern on the culms (more mottled than spotted). The name maculata is derived from the Latin word maculatus, meaning "spotted". Similar to Bambusa textilis Purpurescens but the culms do not darken uniformly.
This species has been in the USA since 1997 in name only. The FCC/ABS misidentified or mislabeled during the import process and the bamboo formerly known as B.textilis maculata is now labeled Bambusa textilis UNKNOWN at Tropical Bamboo Nursery. We re-imported the correct species in 2018 and it is spectacular!
25 - 30' tall with 1" diameter culms at maturity.
Like all of the textilis varieties, it is cold hardy to the low 20s F.

Bambusa textilis purpurescens - Purple Textilis Bamboo
*New
|
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, first come first served.
About 25' - 30' tall with about 1 1/2" dia. culms.
Min. temp 21F. Min USDA zone: 9a.

Bambusa tuldoides cv 'Swollen Internode' - Cool Buddha
*New
|
For those who live in southern areas of the USA, but not far south enough to grow the frost-sensitive Bambusa vulgaris Wamin, this may be your solution!
Bambusa vulgaris Wamin (Dwarf Buddha's Belly Bamboo), with its distinctively compressed and swollen internodes, has always teased growers who experience the occasional freeze each year. Their only option was to grow the more cold-hardy Bambusa ventricosa (Buddha's Belly), which only produces reliable bellied culms under stress. This new introduction to the USA, collected by us in Hua'an, China in November/2012, will be frost-tolerant AND will produce reliable bellied culms.
UPDATE: After spending nearly two years in quarantine under USDA care, it was released to us in July/2014. It has been exclusively test grown at Tropical Bamboo Nursery since then. Limited availability began early September 2017.
The common name Cool Buddha was given primarily to identify this species as appropriate for cooler climate zones.
Will grow to around 18' tall with 2.5" diameter culms in Florida. Minimum temp. 15 degrees F. Min USDA zone: 8b. Click here to find zone
