Semiarundinaria fastuosa
Temple Bamboo |
S. fastuosa is the largest hardy bamboo growing in the Pacific Northwest that is not a Phyllostachys. It is upright and makes a good screen or hedge. This bamboo is supposed to grow 35 feet tall, but has only reached a height of 25 feet at the Bamboo Garden Nursery near Portland, OR. The culms start green then age to a burgundy color in the Fall, when the temperature drops to near freezing. During the growing season it appears to be primarily a green caned bamboo.
