Chinese Dwarf Bamboo – Bambusa guangxiensis **NON-INVASIVE, CLUMPING**

Chinese Dwarf Bamboo
Bambusa guangxiensis

LIVE, WELL-ROOTED PLANT

TRUE CLONE

Very dense and bushy. Perfect for creating a dense hedge, ideally trimmed up to 8' in height. It can easily be kept to a lower height by trimming the tops. Creates a fantastic hedge to block out the neighbors or unsightly fence! Also works well in containers, as a patio plant. This bamboo has become a high-demand hedge plant in Australia. We expect the same in the sub-tropical areas of the USA. Its native habitat is lowland valleys of Guangxi province southern China. These are set amongst Karst Mountains with deep gorges.

Grows to 15'-18' with 2" culms. Min. temp reports vary, most between 24-28F – it seems to be a true tropical to us and would likely suffer at temps below freezing. Min USDA zone: 9a

Maintenance / Care- There are four conditions that optimize the growth of tropical bamboos: Sunlight, regular irrigation, good drainage, and at least occasional fertilization. If any of these conditions is lacking, the growth rate will be affected in direct proportion to the deficiency. You can certainly have a beautiful bamboo, but again, the growth rate will not be maximized.

Shipping – bamboo will be shipped in 3 gallon/10" nursery container. Plant will be wired to the box; heat packs will be included if needed.
