"Giant Bamboo" FEATURES: Very thick culms. Burma origin.

The name says it all. The largest of all bamboos. Tremendous culms that do not want to grow straight unless the stand is well managed. The weather at Belli is not really suitable and the one specimen here is struggling.

Huge culms yielding large quantities of heavy timber.

I used to drool at the clump in the Flecker Gardens at Cairns until a recent cyclone blew it over. It was in better shape than any seen in South East Asia. Well worth trying to see how it will adapt with some TLC (Tender Loving Care) in a moist warm climate.
