giant bamboo
Description
Dendrocalamus giganteus, as its name suggests, is one of the largest bamboo species in the world, with culms that can reach enormous heights. Its massive culms are typically a bluish-green color when young, maturing to a greenish-yellow hue, and are often used in construction and as a material. Its leaves are lance-shaped, and can provide a dense screen. It thrives in warm, humid climates and is native to Southeast Asia. Because of its size, it demands a lot of space and is ideally suited for large-scale landscaping. To cultivate this giant, plant it in a sunny location and provide plenty of water and well-draining soil. Be mindful of its mature size and spread, and plan accordingly. Regular fertilization can also help enhance its impressive growth.
