Description
Phyllostachys pubescens, commonly called Moso bamboo, is a giant, running bamboo species renowned for its impressive size and versatile applications. Its culms can reach towering heights, making it one of the largest bamboo species. The culms are usually a greenish-brown color, sometimes with a powdery coating when young, giving it a beautiful appearance.
