We do two cultivars of this species (Greenstripe & Silverstripe). Both of them create fabulous hedges and privacy screens.
Pergracile
Vertical to around 30 feet with a very compact footprint, this bamboo is beautiful. New canes have blue-ish powder combined with copper colored sheaths.
Rigida
Vertical and compact, this bamboo will tolerate any conditions in Hawaii and we think it will max out at about 25 feet tall. A very lovely single specimen or hedge plant.
Slender weaver’s / Gracilis
Excellent choice anywhere in Hawaii, this bamboo will grow to about 25-30 feet tall. Good in many of the environments here in Hawaii, it remains a popular choice.
Emerald Bamboo
Clean, vertical and gorgeous. Good anywhere in Hawaii. Supposed to be a bit shorter than the regular textilis but we think that has more to do with environment than species.
Weaver’s Bamboo
Always perfect. No matter how many new and exotic plants we get, Textilis always remains one of our favorites. Elegant, with a classic form.
