Plant Biography
Native to South Korea and Japan, in the wild it grows in damp woodland areas, frequently found forming dense thickets in open areas.
It its native surroundings in China it has been used in traditional medicine for asthma and coughs, and the leaves have even been used as an aphrodisiac.
In the garden, smaller canes are often plaited together for use as screening. The culms make an excellent wind break for windy gardens as they slow windspeeds without creating turbulence.
Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
Pseudosasa japonica is a very tolerant bamboo, useful for creating screens in shaded areas against fences or under the shade of trees. It’s also suitable for container growing.
Pseudosasa japonica absolutely requires installation of root barrier to prevent it from becoming invasive, which you can find in the Accessories category.
Delighted with our Arrow Bamboo plants. They arrive in great condition and much taller and more established than we expected. Would definitely use the palm centre again.

Ordered Friday and received the following Wednesday. Very well packaged with protective card all round, then netted and boxed. Plant arrived looking healthy and vibrant. Soil was moist, and surprisingly little spilled in transit. Definitely recommend, I’m delighted with my plant.

Another very attractive and healthy looking bamboo from the Palm Centre. Great size and sensibly packaged and I know my daughter will be delighted with it. Slight issue re delivery but that was down to the Courier not the Palm Centre.
