Tigerstripe is a part of our unique & unusual bamboo range of which we have a small selection available. These beautiful species of bamboo are not the popular types that sell on mass, but rather the specialised rarer varieties for bamboo enthusiasts and collectors.

 

Tigerstripe is a very tropical bamboo featuring deep green foliage and an interesting zig zag pattern on the culm sheaths where the name came from!

Tigerstripe is a great single feature for its canopy shape, or growing in a screen it will be more upright. It does require more water during dry periods due to the large leaf. It looks best trimmed down in height.

​

Tigerstripe is quick growing and extremely low maintenance once established. It is also very drought tolerant, but it looks much lusher and fuller with regular water.
