Kawayan

Bambusa sp

Family: Poaceae / Gramineae

Common Name: bamboo

Origin: endemic?

  • leaves are reportedly toxic to horses
  • we have a lot of bamboo all over the farm, mostly  by the creek
  • I thought we had the Spiny Bamboo Bambusa blumeana, also sometimes called Bambusa spinosa , but I can’t see spines in these pictures
  • According to Stuartxchage, Bambusa vulgaris is smaller than Bambusa blumeana.  It doesn’t have spiny branches.
  • It’s possible that we have both types of bamboo.
