A rare and highly sought after variety of non-invasive bamboo, Thamnocalamus crassinodus Gosainkund is prized for its elegant, open habit and striking blue-grey culms that develop more intense colour with age. Originating from the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, this bamboo makes an outstanding collector’s specimen or architectural feature.

Though slow to propagate, it rewards patience with its graceful, upright form making it ideal for screening, background planting or adding vertical interest to sheltered garden spaces.

It thrives in full sun to light shade in well-drained soil and benefits from protection in cooler climates as it is frost tender. Perfect for those seeking a unique and ornamental bamboo that doesn’t spread aggressively.
