Phyllostachys bissetii

Description

Phyllostachys bissetii excels at what it does, extremely hardy and tolerant of most conditions. It is one of the freshest looking bamboos at winter’s end – its thickly growing foliage and densely clustered canes are almost completely windproof, thereby making a perfect screening or hedging plant. It is also the most tolerant of drought and doesn’t mind its position but will be a lighter green in a sunny position and lush dark green in the shade.
