Phyllostachys edulis

Phyllostachys edulis


A bamboo which is very much in demand.

Phyllostachys edulis is one of the most commercially grown bamboos in China. It is one of many bamboos to produce edible shoots and also provide timber for a multitude of uses to include scaffolding and flooring. This bamboo is capable of producing stems of over 25 metres tall with a diameter of 18cm.

In the British Isles we have seen growth of around 8 metres with diameters around 8cm. New grey-green culms are covered in light white powder as photo on left shows. As the culms age they turn to pale green.

Whilst it is very hardy, the problem with growing this bamboo in Britain, is our late spring frosts, which may damage the early shoots.

If you are prepared to give this bamboo a ground area of at least 16 square metres and protect the emerging shoots in spring it will develop into a fine stand.

For an alternative large growing species that is reliable and hardy try Phyllostachys vivax.
The stems shown in the pictures are those of a stand in Carwinion Gardens, Cornwall.
