Phyllostachys rubromarginata

USDA Zone
recommended 6b
through 10
An upright, strong, and hardy timber bamboo. New shoot
with red margin, hence the name rubro (red) marginata
(margin). Because of its vigorous growth, P. rubromarginata has been
the darling of the scientific community; a study conducted in the
southeastern United States found P. rubromarginata to be the species
best suited for paper production, and another conducted in Puyallup,
Washington named it the most prolific shooter. Its height and flexibility
make it an exceptional windbreak.
