This RHS award-winning bamboo provides a dense evergreen screen, perfect for hedging and has mid-green, lance-shaped leaves held on dark green stems. P. bissetii produces new canes earlier in the season than many other bamboos, appearing in late spring or early summer. The canes have an upright, slightly arching habit, although this will be less apparent if grown as a screen.

For established hedges, thicker canes can be removed at ground level to promote good air circulation and vigour.
