Description

This superbly erect rapid growing straight-culmed bamboo takes up less space than most smaller bamboos. With its medium-sized broad-leafed dark green clean appearance Oldhamii (pronounced old-ham-e-eye) is an ideal slightly larger suburban garden bamboo. Delicious shoots are light green and hairless except for a darker area being revealed by the lower culm leaf. A white powder covers the shoots and young culms.

The later vivid green culms turn gold in strong sunlight. Beautiful straight timber is highly used for furniture making and lighter internal structures. Large plantings exist in China and for shoot production in cooler climates but it gives a smaller crop than larger species.

Used in NZ and Nth NSW for tall orchard and nursery windbreaks. A cold-tolerant bamboo, and a must-have for any collector.
