Family Poaceae
Originating from China
Wonderfully textured clumps of bottlebrush-like columns of dense foliage, borne on stiffly upright orange/green culms. Its short side branches hold the pointed leaves stiffly, creating a tiered and elegant structure to each culm, and giving the clump a stunning and detailed structure. Ideal where towering bamboo is not desirable, Makinoi bamboo is a shorter growing Semiarundinaria selection, perfect for oriental style or smaller spaces. Grow this within our rhizome barrier control system to safely contain its running root system.
Easy to grow in any soil type in sun or part shade and in pots.
Height and spread after 3 – 4 years 3m x 2m
Semi-mature height and spread after 5 – 6 years if not pruned or rhizome controlled 3.5m x 4m
