Bambusa Wamin
"Lumpy Noodle Bamboo"

With my dramatically swollen internodes, I am a bamboo that is considered to be a major ornamental landscaping resource. Rare and relatively unavailable until recently, I am being offered in increasing numbers and sizes.

Wamin is sometimes mistaken as Buddha Belly (Bambusa Ventricosa), but my canes are often larger in diameter. Whereas Buddha Belly will most often revert to straight caned growth when planted in the landscape, the vast majority my canes will belly reliably starting in the 2nd or 3rd year of undisturbed growth (sometimes sooner depending on what you start with).

DRAMATIC and small when pruned and maintained, I can work well in residential areas. I look unique and unusual, always getting second looks! I am an exceptional small garden choice when maintained and excellent in beach locations.
