Bamboo “Giant Buddha’s Belly”

Bambusa vulgaris “Wamin”

Giant Buddha’s Belly Bamboo is a great bamboo variety for gardens. With shiny, smooth green bamboo stalks that feature bulbous “bellies” at intervals, it stays at a manageable height and is highly ornamental. It’s named for these bulges, not it’s height, and will only grow to 6 meters in ideal conditions.

This bamboo is great as a screen or hedge. It’s important to give Giant Buddhas Belly a good amount of space to grow and to not plant it to close to any fences or buildings, at least 1m away.
