Description
Phyllostachys vivax is a fast-growing, running bamboo species known for its impressive size and vigor. It is one of the largest bamboo species, capable of reaching considerable heights. It is a clumping bamboo native to China. The culms (canes) are typically green, but can turn yellow in some cultivars. Phyllostachys vivax creates a dense screen or windbreak. The plant thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. It is cold-hardy. Bamboo rhizome barriers can be used to control its spread. Regular watering, particularly during dry periods, is necessary for optimal growth.
