Bambusa Dolichomerithalla is one of the newer species to be introduced to the United States originating from Taiwan. This species is actually utilized by natives in creating blowguns. That’s pretty awesome.

A must have for all bamboo connoisseurs/collectors/growers. It’s leaves resemble graceful bamboo however have beautiful silver striations all throughout the foliage.

Bambusa Dolichomerithalla’s ‘Silverstripe’ variation features dark green culms with silver-white subtle striations (1 or 2 thin lines) only spotted at the first few inner nodes starting at the base. Branching occurs higher up on this species. A white powder develops higher on these culms turning this unique dark green colored bamboo into a cobalt blue tint.

Bambusa Dolichomerithalla ‘silverstripe’ is one of the most unique species I’ve ever seen. From the various colors found in this species to the culms having a fuzzy feel to the main branch at each node being several times larger than the other branches, so long you can create a whip from the length of the branch.

Sizes range from XL rhizome, 1gal single division, 3gal plants, 7gal plants
