Phyllostachys humilis is a compact, running, evergreen bamboo valued for forming dense, leafy screens and lower hedges; it carries slender green canes with many side branches and narrow green leaves, and grows well in full sun or light shade on fertile, moistureretentive, welldrained soils. It is vigorous and should be contained with a proper root barrier if planting near borders or paving. As a managed hedge, expect an eventual height of around 34m and a spread of about 23m.
Feeding time: Spring Trimming time: Spring for thinning out old or weak canes; light trimming of side shoots in summer once new canes have hardened
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
