Phyllostachys dulcisOther names: "Sweetshoot Bamboo" Statistics: Height: 30-40+ feet Diameter: 2-3½ inches The prominent nodes, short broad leaves and handsome form of dulcis give it a character all of its own. The large shoots come up in May and are a cream color with brown freckles. They resemble Vivax shoots so much that it is hard to distinguish between the two species by shoots alone. The shoots are delicious: they have a touch of sweetness to them unlike any other bamboo shoots I have tasted. Dulcis does not have a perfectly vertical habit, but becomes more so with maturity. Even when regularly thinned the canopy of the grove gets very leafy so the new shoots often bend toward the light. It has fat canes which are rather short for their girth. So if you don't want something that towers, this may be the bamboo for you. Its medium-sized leaves flutter nicely in the wind.
