Himalayacalamus falconeri

Himalayacalamus falconeri, syn. Drepanostachyum hookerianum, also known as candy cane bamboo is a very beautiful clumping bamboo due to its vivid, random colors: dark green striping on red and yellow canes supporting masses of small, feathery leaves. The candy cane bamboo rarely gets 30 ft tall, more often reaching 10 to 20 ft if conditions are good. Himalayacalamus falconeri is recommended for USDA zones 8 – 10.
