Phyllostachys edulis

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.

For an alternative large growing species that is also reliable and hardy try Phyllostachys vivax.
