Giant Timber Bamboo
Bambusa Oldhamii
Giant Timber Bamboo (Bambusa Oldhamii) can be used as a superb windbreak to protect crops and property, although this seems a bit of a waste as it is a stunning plant. This bamboo can highlight any garden as a feature or mass planting. Growing to 9 meters but leaving only a small footprint, it grows thick, tall and has large leaves which look fabulous all year round.
