Temple Bamboo (Semiarundinaria Fastuosa) – 3 Gallon Pot (4-6’+)

Temple Bamboo, also called Japanese Palm, is a highly attractive and stately selection with very erect and straight canes that age to a beautiful purple or dark reddish color, which is why it is often referred to as a red bamboo. With foliage only at the top one third of mature canes this stately beauty resembles a palm tree! One really unique thing about this bamboo is how the short branches and foliage typically emerge at the top of the cane and grow down the cane over time. This species has quasi persistent culm sheaths. Temple Bamboo has a moderate to fast growth rate that you can expect to reach up to 30 feet tall. Handles salt spray conditions so is suitable for use in coastal landscapes. Cold hardy to -0°F

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Bamboo variety is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
