One of the best bamboos for wood quality and quantity. The culms
are straight, long and with little taper. It has the longest internodes of any
Phyllostachys and the nodes are not very pronounced which allows for easy splitting. In a
test in Alabama of dozens of bamboos this one was judged most productive in wood
production. Rubromarginata refers to inconspicuous red bristles. This vigorous Bamboo is
noted for its resistance to wind. A good bamboo for exposed sights and great for eating.
