Mexican Weeping Bamboo

20' tall, 1.5" dia culms, good to 22 degrees Fahrenheit

Long narrow leaves are produced in such abundance that they almost completely obscure the culms. Clumps open with culms spaced up to 1 to 2 feet apart. The small leaves give this plant a unique appearance, a pleasing feathery fountain-like effect.

Mexican Weeping Bamboo prefers a well drained sunny location.
