Pseudosasa japonica | Also known as: Metake | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
Commonly called arrow bamboo, pseudosasa japonica is arguably one of the most attractive species of bamboo you can find. A tough, evergreen grass, its culms are tall and very slender, while its light green foliage comprises long and narrow, sword-shaped, glossy leaves. At any time of year, it can produce tiny brown blossoms. A vigorous spreader, the arrow bamboo makes for a perfect natural garden screen or unusual hedging. It thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, preferably in partial shade, but may need some balanced fertilizer in summer to ensure it develops fully. Severely pruning after flowering will encourage healthy growth.
