This bamboo was started from micro propagation and currently does not show any sign of "Buddha's Belly" nodes common for this species. In five gallon size, they stand about 5 feet tall with several canes and can exceed 30 feet within 5 years when grown in the ground. Even though lacking the large internodes that give B. ventricosa unique character, this bamboo will ultimately make an effective CLUMPING (non-invasive) privacy screen, for climates that seldom get below freezing.  It is also an excellent low cost green indoor bamboo.  See this link to figure out shipping cost
