Plant history & use
Incense bamboo is a hardy bamboo species from China known for its edible shoots, which are used in many Asian dishes. It is also valued for its unique sandalwood scent it emits when the sun shines and there is a light breeze – even when freshly cut or crushed. The shoots are harvested young and prepared boiled, fried, or pickled. The stem can also be used for building and crafts.
The emerging youngest shoots are harvested and peeled to eat like regular bamboo. Usually sliced and blanched or boiled in various stews.
Cultivation
Thrives in sun to partial shade in moisture-retentive, nutrient-rich soil. Spreads by rhizomes; it is recommended to plant with a root barrier to limit spread. Very hardy and resistant to cold.
Characteristics:
Lifespan: Perennial
Light conditions: partial shade - sun
Height: 4-10 meters (likely max 6 meters in Nordic climate)
Hardiness zone: 1-4
