Pseudosasa japonica

Hardy Metake Bamboo, Yadake (Japan)

full sunsemi-shaderequires extra watersuitable for beginnerssuitable for screening

This is the most widely planted and probably the hardiest of temperate bamboos. It has arrow straight culms supporting multitudes of large and glossy leaves. The shoots appear early in the season, and the long culm sheaths cling to the culm over many years. The culms are upright and green to start with, fading quickly to a straw colour. The weight of the leaves make them arch as they grow older. When planted as a windbreak, the rustle of its leaves brings a new element into the garden.
