Few things are as peacefully inviting as a gentle breeze blowing through a bamboo forest. While mountainsides covered in giant bamboo are not part of the American landscape, by installing a few Madake Japanese Timber Bamboo plants, you can create a miniature version of a bamboo forest in your own backyard.

Not only does Madake (Phyllostachys bambusoides Madake) Japanese Timber Bamboo make a serene and lovely grove, the thick, straight canes – 2 to 6-inch diameter and up to 60-feet tall – are one of the best bamboos to use for building projects.
The thick white line that encircles each culm section on Madake’s dark green canes adds to the attractiveness of this beautiful and highly functional running bamboo |
Instrument-makers also favor Madake for flutes and didgeridoos because of its exceptionally strong, thick-walled canes.
