Guadua Angustifolia

South American Construction Bamboo

Native to  North Eastern South America, said to be on of the more primitive species, valued for its culms, which are used for construction timber due to short internodes, thick heavy wood.

This bamboo is pest resistant. Grown as an enormous hedge you will have no trouble with trespasses as leafs have small spiky thorns. 18 metres at least.  Culms will be 150 cm on occasions making it hard to handle.

Shoots are huge, amazing and covered in a brown fur coat, stunning growth - pushing up skyward this is an incredible bamboo.  

Plant in an area which has good rainfall, or in an higher altitude -  allowing room for outward spread, or keep clump size restricted by utilising this great timber resource which quickly renews itself before your eyes !
