Dendrocalamus minor
White bamboo - ghost bamboo - Small dendrocalamus
Description
Dendrocalamus minor, often referred to as the thorny bamboo or the small-leafed bamboo, is a bamboo species characterized by its relatively small leaves and moderate growth. It typically features slender, upright culms that are a rich green color, and sometimes turn yellow or even brown with age. Its leaves are lance-shaped. This bamboo is adaptable to various conditions and climates, and its clumping habit makes it less invasive than some other bamboo species. It is often used in gardens to provide privacy and texture. To cultivate Dendrocalamus minor, plant it in well-draining soil and provide plenty of sunlight. Periodic pruning and removal of older culms will encourage new growth. Although it's less aggressive, keep in mind that it still can grow to be a decent size.
