"World's Tallest Bamboo" FEATURES: Thick upright culms. Large edible shoots. India origin.

The worlds tallest bamboo (not to be confused with the "largest" D. giganteus) Thick upright culms that reach for the heavens are truly spectacular. The shoots are large and edible but only thin out those that are over crowding the clump. The 20m poles are worth up $80 each so it's worth the wait. Grown from seed purchased in Thailand 1991 that has produced Variegated, Striated and Black cultivars.

A brilliant large feature plant with the potential to provide some of the highest yields of large culms. Thick walled culms used in house construction, paper pulp, furniture etc.
