| Bambusa boniopsis: Culm with branches and leaves (left), one of the saplings (right) |
Bambusa boniopsis (BS-0438) from China was recently propagated by plant division. 19 single-stem saplings were left and are offered free of charge.
This bamboo forms a dense clump with culms 3–6 m high and 1–2.5 cm in diameter. Its habit is V-shaped, with the lower culms branchless. This bamboo is good for privacy screening along property boundaries. The culms are quite strong and can be used to support climbers such as tomatoes.
These saplings should be planted instantly in the ground with normal garden soil or in pots or containers. They are easy to grow and prefer full sun or half shade.
