Hibanobambusa tranquillans 'Shiroshima' is a striking variegated bamboo with big leaves similar to Pseudosasa japonica. It can reach up to four metres in height and has a broad, spreading habit. We would recommend you use a bamboo root barrier if planting this bamboo. As an alternative, grow it in a container where you can admire its beauty without worrying about where it's going to wander to!
