Bambusa Multiplex 'Green Hedge'

Description

Green Hedge is often considered the “parent form” of the multiplex

family. As the plant matures, the plant stands more erect as the culms

can support the many branches and leaves. Multiplex is the hardiest of

the Bambusa. Each node bears a large number of branches making a dense

hedge. The erect culms are ornamental, leaf-free for the bottom half and

form dense clumps of slightly arching branches covered with leaves

toward the top. Multiplex is the most common bamboo used for a hedge on

the Gulf Coast. This plant has a more upright; "caney" look as compared

to some of the other multiplex. Great for a hedge effect when overhead

room is not a problem.
