Tropical Bamboo
Tropical Bamboo describes a category of bamboo plants that are generally not cold-hardy and that grow naturally in tropical regions of the world. Most are considered non-invasive because of their pachymorph rhizomes, forming symetrical clumps rather than ever-expanding groves. The majority of tropical bamboos worldwide are represented by bamboo species in the genus Bambusa, Gigantochloa, Dendrocalamus, Guadua, Otatea, Schizostachym, and Thyrsostachys - however there are many more somewhat obscure tropical bamboo genus
