Bambusa malingensis --Seabreeze Clumping Bamboo--

Large variety up to 35 feet tall with 2 inch culms and is cold hardy to 20 degrees. The Seabreeze bamboo is one of the toughest and fasted growing clumping bamboos available in the United States. Seabreeze is more salt tolerant than most other varieties of bamboo and is resilient in high winds which make it an ideal candidate for ocean or lakefront property as well as large open space residential or commercial projects. Excellent for screening out undesired views very quickly and works well trimmed to a hedge.The culms are straight and form tight, dense clumps.
Clumping bamboo is an underappreciated gem. It grows fast, looks great, and has endless uses—think strong building materials, eco-friendly fabrics, and more. It’s sustainable and tough, yet people still overlook it. Some fear the spreading kind, but clumping bamboo? It’s a different story—beautiful, manageable, and worth a second look.
To ensure maximum cold hardiness regularly (every couple of months or more) add a rich compost or mulch to the existing corms. This will also create rapid tight growth of the clump of canes. And though bamboos are very drought tolerant, keep in mind the more water, both through the root system as well as spraying the foliage will keep it looking lush, and tropical and helps to maintain a peaceful mind.
