Neutral palmbob On Nov 7, 2005, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This Dendrocalamus has the typical hairy leaves but the leaf size is decidedly smaller than many of the other species. It is a very commonly grown bamboo in Indonesia and its use is primarily pulp... doesn't have the straightest culms for construction. It's a bit cold sensitive (supposedly 30F is its minimum but frost into the mid 20s haven't hurt it much). Culm diameter maxes out at about 5" and it can grow up to 60', at least in a tropical climate (probably less here in So Cal).

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

San Marino, California
Fort Myers, Florida
