Sinobambusa tootsik
Temple Bamboo
From China, a running (invasive) bamboo that is traditionally planted around Buddhist temples. In Sydney, Temple should only be contained in pots. Temple forms a dense, upright screen when planted in a row so does really well as a potted bamboo in troughs for balcony plantings. Plant in full sun to light shade. Can be used in well lit indoor plantings.
Characteristics
Medium sized, running bamboo that grows 7 to 9 metres high, with culms 3-4 cm in diameter. Can grow up to 12 metres in the right conditions. Culms, up to 45cm between nodes, turn from jade to burnished yellow in full sun. Culms of Temple Bamboo bruise easily and then retain the mark permanently. Lush, upwards pointing foliage. Ruby coloured, velvet textured hairs circle each node of the new culms.
