10 SEEDS Giant Indian Thorny Bamboo | Perennial | Bambusa Bambos Bambusa bambos is a perennial Poaceae with a 24-32 year life cycle. It grows in erect clumps up to 20-35 m high. It is thick walled, with a diameter of 8-18 cm. There are 1-3 spines at each branch node. Leaves are thin, linear, up to 20 cm long. It needs several years to become mature (12 years). Flowering is gregarious and requires about 16 years to happen. After flowering, seedling is profuse and the clump dies soon after it. Bambusa bambos is cultivated for building and scaffolding.
