Phyllostachys bambusoides is a giant grass. In a controlled environment, it grows 6'-10' high. In an uncontrolled enviroment, it grows 10'-20' high. Dense foliage makes it a good screen or hedge. It can be considered drought-tolerant but looks much better with regular water.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
