Phyllostachys atrovaginata (Incense Bamboo)

Phyllostachys atrovaginata, also known as Incense Bamboo, is a large and vigorous bamboo species that is native to China. It has attractive dark green culms that turn golden brown with age. It is a clumping bamboo, meaning that it spreads slowly and stays in a tight clump, making it a great choice for a privacy screen or a focal point in the garden. The culms emit a pleasant fragrance that resembles incense when rubbed or crushed.
