Bambusa Chungii – Emperor’s Blue Bamboo

Interestingly known both as Emperor’s Blue Bamboo and ‘white bamboo’ it is really green, however the culms are coated with a white powder or ‘bloom’ which give the canes a distinctive blue look.

The species will reach a height of around 10m and is grown widely in tropical and sub tropical regions of Asia.

Bambusa Chungii or Emperor’s Blue Bamboo will form a good clump over time of around 4m. The culms are largish to around 5cm in diameter (2 inches)

Bambusa Chungii ‘Barbellata’

This is a much smaller growing variety than the species reaching around 7m height with slightly narrower culms, it is also seen as being a more cold hardy plant than the species.

It seems to form a tighter clump than the species making it more suited to smaller gardens

Care

Bambusa Chungii grows best in a sunny position and copes well with heat, frosts can be an issue especially with new growth.
