Gracilis Bambusa textilis Gracilis
From its extremely graceful leaves and nodding top to its strong straight culms. This would have to be the best bamboo plant for Victoria. Handling the cold winters and hot summers with ease. Tightly clumping culms and very erect it is an excellent choice for a small garden.

Exposed lower culms will evolve naturally after a few years, but as with most bamboos, pruning can be done at any time. Prune for a sparse clean look or leave as a screening plant.
