Sought out for its delicious shoots. Preferred for use as walking sticks all over China and for export, hard to find nowdays. It makes a special container plant, with its interesting culms and gentle foliage.

How fast will it grow?

Growth rate will depend a lot on climatefood and water. Small plants are slow to get going, enjoy the wait.
