Semiarundinaria fastuosa viridis – Green Temple Bamboo;
Said to be a green-cane form of the species, USDA Zones 6b-9. But we’re not sure. To
20 feet with 1 inch canes here. The literature says it can get bigger (30’ x 1 ½”). Here is a
photo of “viridis” beside our “Field Pond” – notice the bamboo stops at the high water line.
This is a runoff pond and the bamboo helps filter silt before the water enters the pond.
