Why Tropical Bamboo? Because it won’t take over your yard. Tropical bamboos are non-invasive, clumping species (sympodial) that are beautiful, versatile landscape plants. Unlike the temperate-zone bamboos, tropical bamboos will not spread! So not to worry, these guys stay put. Rapid Growth Rate. These are the fastest-growing plants in the world, growing at three times the rate of their nearest competitor. Many species of bamboo are highly resilient, bending under high wind, thus making them perfect for coastal environments subject to tropical storms and hurricanes. Some, such as Bambusa malingensis (Seabreeze bamboo), are said to be salt-tolerant, another big positive for coastal landscaping. Many Landscape Uses. Many homeowners have discovered that tropical bamboo quickly creates a natural screen, providing garden intimacy even in busy urban neighborhoods. Species like Bambusa textilis var. Gracilis (Graceful bamboo) require very little planting area yet their erect form can grow tall enough to block second-story neighbors. As a single specimen, this variety makes an elegant landscape plant. Importantly, bamboo root systems are unobtrusive and won’t destroy septic or water lines, a common problem with other plants.
