the genus
HIBANOBAMBUSA

From the Japanese term translating "Bamboo growing on Hiba Mountain."

Subfamily: Bambusoideae

This genus consists of but one species plus one cultivar, and is believed to be a hybrid cross of Sasa veitchii and Phyllostachys nigra ‘Henon’. It clearly shows characteristics of both genera, with its large Sasa-like leaves and the distinctive groove "sulcus" - running along its canes.

Culture: Hibanobambusa needs a bit of shade, growing well in moderately, well-drained, non-allkaline soil, with moderate to regular watering. Doing quite well in warm and even tropical climates, these plants withstand windy conditions as well.
