Arrow bamboo is one of the most popular bamboos, with a wide variety of uses both indoors and outdoors. Outside, arrow bamboo is a fantastic choice for a lush and green privacy screen, since this plant grows to an average of 12 to 15 feet in height and grows beautiful, especially wide leaves all the way to the ground. The canes can be grown tightly together, so that your screen is both elegant and impenetrable. This bamboo can also thrive indoors as a brilliant decorative piece.

This hardy, vividly green bamboo can withstand salty or windy conditions and grows very fast. Its leaves are particularly stunning, with the potential to grow over a foot long and nearly 2 inches wide. This makes arrow bamboo a beautiful choice for the garden or to add an exotic, living decoration to the home.
