Botanical Classification

Bamboos are a subfamily of Grasses:
FAMILY: GRAMINEAE / POACEAE
SUBFAMILY: BAMBUSOIDEAE

They can be defined as "Tall or Shrubby Grasses with Woody Stems (Culms)". They are some of the hardiest evergreen plants around and a visit to our Nursery in the depths of Winter will be amply rewarded.
