Chimonobambusa tumidissinoda

A very distinct bamboo with particularly swollen nodes on the culms, used to make the famous knobbly Chinese walking sticks. Extremely elegant long narrow foliage on graceful arching culms to 2-3m high. Running habit best controlled with rhizome barrier, which is very simple and straightforward to install at just 50cm depth (just ask) and COMPLETELY stops the spread, NO MATTER WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD ELSEWHERE. Gorgeous, one of my favourites, and probably the most elegant of all bamboos. Best in semi-shade.
