Bambusa multiplex |
| Common Name |
Alphonse Karr |
| Typical Dimensions |
4-5m high, culm diameters to 25mm. -12°c |
| Description |
One of the hardiest and most attractive screening plants, Alphonse Karr is gold with green stripes and a compact bushy form. Unfortunately, it is prone to mealy bug infestation in humid conditions so we don’t generally recommend it for Queensland applications but it is a beautiful south of the border. It is not as upright as some other species, so contact us for more advice on whether this is the most suitable bamboo for your requirements. |

Giant Buddha’s Belly |
| Typical Dimensions |
4 -5m high in full sun, culm diameter up to 100mm. -2°c |
