🌿 Alphonse Karr Bamboo – Clumping Variety 🌿

Alphonse Karr Bamboo (Bambusa multiplex ‘Alphonse Karr’) is a striking clumping bamboo variety known for its vibrant yellow stems with green stripes. 🌟 Native to Southeast Asia, this bamboo has been highly regarded for its fast growth and non-invasive clumping nature. Unlike running bamboo, which can spread aggressively, Alphonse Karr bamboo grows in tight clumps, making it ideal for small to medium-sized gardens, privacy screens, and ornamental landscaping. 🌱🌿 It adds an exotic tropical touch with its bright and eye-catching appearance. 🌞🍃
