Suzuko-narihira

Sinobambusa Tootsik form. albo-striata Muroi
This is one type of Sinobambusa toosik "To-chiku" in Japanese, because of not the type of
Semiarundinaria named "Narihira" in Japanese.

Culm size is little bit smaller than S. tootsik.
The most interesting character is shown in leaf color, as appearing white or yellow stripes.
So, the whole coloring view is really wonderful to look like white bamboo.
Recentely, this bamboo is ornamentally planted at gardens and parks.
The shape of branches can be changes to be just like a tassel by strong pruning.
