Bambusa multiplex
Bambusa multiplex is a species of bamboo native to China, Nepal, Bhutan, Assam, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and northern Indochina. It is also naturalized in Iraq, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, the Indian subcontinent, parts of South America, the West Indies, and the southeastern United States.
B. multiplex forms a medium sized clump with slender culms and dense foliage. This bamboo is suitable for hedges and live fences since the stems and foliage form a dense growth that create an effective barrier. The height of the stems under ideal conditions is about 10 ft. Propagation is through rhizome offsets and rooted culm cuttings. Micro propagation too is feasible through axillary bud proliferation.
