Summary
Originally from China, Phyllostachys flexuosa is a bamboo growing 6 to 10 metres in height. Phyllostachys flexuosa has a strong growth rate and spreads very easily via a particularly vigorous network of underground stems which emit shoots. It forms dense stands which prevent native vegetation from growing.
