SQUARE BAMBOO

---

• As its common name suggests, C. quadrangularis, boasts 1-inch square culms. Although it is a running bamboo, it is less invasive than C. marmorea because it only produces a few new shoots a year.
   
• The thick-walled, sturdy culms are sometimes used as plant stakes. They are dark green when new, becoming brownish green with occasional purple blotches when mature.
   
• As well as a vertical accent in the garden, the Square Bamboo is recommended for container plantings.
   
• It is hardy to 19 degrees F.
   
• Height to 10-30 feet.
