Schizostachyum

Schizostachyum is a genus of tropical clumping bamboo primarily native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. It is distinguished by its slender, hollow culms and dense foliage, making it an elegant choice for ornamental landscaping. Many species in this genus are traditionally used for weaving, basketry, and lightweight construction, owing to their flexibility and fine culm structure. Schizostachyum plays an essential ecological role in preventing soil erosion and providing habitat for wildlife.
