This green-stem form of S. fastuosa is the largest hardy bamboo in
the Pacific Northwest that is not a Phyllostachys. Like the species, it is
very upright and makes a good screen or hedge. This bamboo is supposed to
grow 35 feet tall, but has only reached a height of 25 feet at the Bamboo
Garden Nursery near Portland, OR. It grows well in sun or shade.
