Dwarf Bamboo

This is a Japanese bamboo that forms a thick hedge up to six feet tall. “Kumasaca” is a Japanese word that literally translates to “field of short bamboo”. Known as the ruscus-leafed bamboo, it has short wide leaves densely born on narrow culms. This is one of the hardiest short species, tolerant of severe cold and wind chill with minimal damage to the leaves. It is good as a short hedge and is evergreen most winters.
