Sasa palmata
bamboo
Description
Sasa palmata is a robust bamboo species known for its large, palmate leaves that provide a lush, tropical appearance. It is a spreading bamboo, forming dense thickets through its rhizomes. This bamboo thrives in shaded or partially shaded locations and requires moist, well-draining soil. It can be used as a screen or a ground cover in larger gardens or landscapes. It is important to contain its spread with barriers or regular trimming. Water generously during dry periods, and fertilize in the spring to encourage healthy growth.
