It is also quite cold hardy having withstood temperatures of 15 degrees F at our bamboo farm. The straight, thin walled canes of 1-inch diameter display a predominant bluish white powder on the lower parts of the internodes giving the plant a glaucus appearance. Silk Bamboo is similar to the Graceful Bamboo, however features smooth canes and culm sheaths and is more open clumping. Not yet as popular as Gracilis (Graceful Bamboo), Glabra is certainly attractive and distinctive and is sure to become just as popular with each specimen planted.

Bamboo can be controlled in a small area simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. Bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are \"shooting,\" the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy.
