Dendrocalamus strictus from India and Southeast Asia

Best Growing Conditions:

• Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Tolerates poor, rocky, or dry soils and performs
  well in arid or semi-arid regions.

Characteristics:

• Solid- or thick-walled bamboo known for its strength and rigidity. Culms are straight and
  durable—used traditionally for construction, tools, and fencing.
• Time to First Harvest: 3–5 years from planting.
• Mature Height: Can grow up to 30–60 feet.

Base Factors to Consider:

• Often called “Iron Bamboo” for its dense, nearly solid culms.
• Excellent for dryland agroforestry, erosion control, and structural use.
• Clumping habit and low maintenance make it ideal for tough landscapes.

Price:

• $30 for a 1-foot, ready-to-transplant clump.
• Currently on back order. Please allow up to three months. We require a 50% deposit to reserve your tree(s).
