Add this to My Wish List
 Bamboo Chimonobambusa Tumidissinoda. ‘The Walking Stick Bamboo’. A very leafy bamboo which is a relatively small in stature and that enjoys light shade. This wonderful and still rare bamboo was only brought out of China for the first time in 1987. Used for centuries to make walking sticks by the Yi people in Szechwan this bamboo remained a closely kept secret. This particular Chimonobambusa is gorgeous, large saucer shaped nodes and dainty leaves call for a solitary position to show off this beauty. Keep in a sheltered spot for best performance. It can spread so in a small garden best confined to pots and planters. Currently unavailable until July 2009. | Culms Max | 3 cm. | | Leaves | 10 x 1.cm. | | Leaf colour | Green papery | | Habit | Delicate | | Form | Rampant | | Hardy to | -13° C |
