    Reaching maximum heights of 35', this hardy semitropical bamboo is widely grown as a windbreak or privacy hedge. Tending to form tight clumps, this plant will remain branched and bushy even low on the trunks, and respond well to pruning and shaping. Will not withstand continual temperatures below 15 °F.
