Positive palmbob On Jan 6, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Easy, attractive and relatively common bamboo species to cultivate. It has 1" relatively thin walled culms up to 40' that arch nicely. It is relatively slow growing so usually not a serious invasion problem (not a runner, either). It has been used to weaving (the culms are thin-walled enough that they can be split and woven), but most collect it for its landscape appeal.
