Giant Timber Bamboo - Bambusa oldhamii

Grows 55' to 65' tall, 4" diameter culms, hardy to 18 deg F

Giant Timber Bamboo is the most common large tropical bamboo grown in the USA. It's culms are straight and erect with relatively short branches. The leaves are large and wide. Mature plants lack lower branching allowing the large culms to display beautifully. Oldhamii bamboo produces the largest diameter culms of any bamboo grown in the Houston area. It is an erect, upright bamboo with a small "foot print". This allows the plant to be utilized in small urban landscapes where horizontal room is at a premium. This bamboo is a great specimen plant and an effective hedge for blocking second story windows and commercial buildings from view.
