Bamboo (Bambusa)

Bambusa is a diverse genus of clumping bamboos prized for their non-invasive growth habit and architectural beauty. These tropical and subtropical plants produce dense clusters of woody culms topped with lush, feathery foliage. Unlike running varieties, they expand slowly from the base, making them ideal for residential privacy screens and hedges. They are remarkably fast-growing and adapt well to various soil types, provided they have good drainage and receive plenty of sunlight each day.
