Bambusa tuldoides - ID#00681
Bambusa tuldoides, commonly known as Punting Pole Bamboo is native of southern China and Vietnam. It is widely cultivated in southern China, Japan, South-East Asia and has also been introduced to Europe, the United States, Honduras, Puerto Rico and Brazil.
Bambusa tuldoides is mainly cultivated as an ornamental, often as a hedge. When cultivated in pots or under unfavourable circumstances, the plant remains small with swollen internodes ("Buddha's belly bamboo") and is thus much treasured in bonsai and horticulture. The culms are used for farm equipment and as punting poles and scaffolding, while the splits are employed in weaving utensils and handicrafts. Young shoots are edible. Shavings of the culm cortex are used in Chinese medicine for febrile diseases, haematuria, epistaxis and infantile epilepsy.
