Bambusa vulgaris Wamin
Giant Buddha Belly / Wamin
From southern China. A most remarkable bamboo. A spectacular ornamental feature plant. The internodes swell out giving it the potbellied appearance that makes it so attractive.
Characteristics
Reaches up to 5.5 m with culms up to 70 mm in diameter. After 3 or so years new culm internodes are pear shaped. In older plants the new culms are even more squat between the nodes. After the first year or two, culms that get sun shine attain a yellow hue giving the appearance of age; faded and pot belled. The culms will grow in sculptural form as they seek the best light to set their leaves.
