Small Buddha Belly Bambusa Ventricosa

Versatility is the best description for this bamboo variety. Under preferred growing conditions it will grow 15 metres tall with a mass of culms. Keeping it tightly restricted will create a bonsai; so do with it what you like.

Be warned, this variety will not easily produce swollen culms. There is an art to it, and growing in a cooler climate is even more challenging.
