Phyllostachys dulcis quick facts
Running timber form of bamboo
Average Seattle-area height: 20-25’ (in ground)
Full sun - mostly shade
A top choice for a compact timber-sized grove
Green - slightly bluish canes with distinct white node
Nicknamed “Sweet Shoot” for its sugary, non-acrid edible shoots
Phyllostachys dulcis is an excellent consideration for a bamboo that can produce strong, thick canes in a residential setting. It produces very strong and straight, 2-3” diameter canes and eventually forms an open, airy grove. Shorter, wide leaves create an attractive and tropical looking canopy for solid privacy above the fence line. In a less amount of time (along with Phyllostachys vivax), dulcis has the capacity to produce large canes in a smaller area than most other timber bamboo.
