Description: Bambusa bambos Also known as: Giant Indian Thorny Bamboo Previously named Bambusa arundinacea One of the tallest grasses in the world, truly a beautiful giant! A species of tropical dense clumping bamboo native to southern Asia. It is a fast growing perennial Poaceae. It grows in erect clumps up to 20-35 m high. It is thick walled, with a diameter of up to 25 cm. There are 1-3 spines at each branch node. Leaves are thin, linear, up to 20 cm long. Its wood is hard and is cultivated for building, paper, furniture, scaffolding, and many other carpentry projects. May be used for reforestation and stabilization of eroding banks. It is often planted as wind-breaks and is recommended in agroforestry. The leaves can be used as fodder while shoots can be considered as vegetables and prepared to make food. The seeds are edible and used in times of scarcity of food. The shoot shells, a by-product of the industrial processing of canned bamboo shoots, are available as both fresh and boiled material. Young shoots are poisonous if not cooked. A substance called Bamboo Milk can be obtained from the culms which is said to be both a stimulant and an aphrodisiac. Although it thrives in tropical to subtropical climates and is best grown in warm humid temperate areas, it can be easily grown as a pot plant or for impressive summer bedding. It will grow best under frost-free conditions. USDA zone: 9b. It prefers rich to medium fertile soils with good water supply. This offer is for 15 seeds!

These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
