Arching, soft green to blue-green culms with occasional white rings grow to 40 feet tall, even in the coldest zones. The 3-inch culms have large diameter for their height and develop thick canes. It performs well and gets big canes even in smaller tight spaces. Sweet Shoot is a quick growing bamboo, making it a great choice for a screen, hedge or grove.
