Plant of the Day

Tuesday 9 March 2021

Here two bamboo species form a great landscape feature with Chimonobambusa tumidissinoda (walking stick bamboo) to the left arching over the path to meet Phyllostachys viridiglaucescens (green-glaucous bamboo). Both are vigorous species that are described as being able to form thickets that can spread indefinitely. To prevent this invasive growth a strong root barrier has been placed around the plants and can be seen at the edge of the path.
