This beautiful clumping bamboo is known for its distinctive dark green and yellow stripes, similar to a bar code. This easy to-grow ornamental bamboo is often used for privacy screening and noise barriers. It’s commercially used for furniture, scaffolding, floors and fencing. At Bambu Warriors we use it to make kitchen utensils, flutes and other home goods. It’s easy to propagate by treating the node and branch with a root enhancer and then planting. We see new growth within 3 weeks.
