About Seabreeze Bamboo

Native to Southern China, Seabreeze Bamboo is the grower's choice for coastal locations as well as many other areas: Southern California, Texas and Florida to start. Seabreeze not only has a higher tolerance for winds, but they are also more salt tolerant than most bamboo varieties. For a privacy screen, centerpiece or windbreak, Seabreeze is the perfect choice.

Our Florida bamboo nursery grows premium Bambusa Malingensis starters in 3 gallon pots. This amazing bamboo can shoot up to more than 40 feet when fully mature, and has a unique umbrella-like arch. While Seabreeze Bamboo does have a multitude of lateral, leafy branches, there are hardly any branches on the lower end of the culms, so that you can admire its beautiful canes.

Seabreeze is a tightly clumping, non-invasive bamboo that is great for creating privacy screens and landscaping pieces. In addition to being a hardy and thriving plant, Seabreeze is more tolerant of flooding and drought. With small dark green culms and leaves, as well as tightly formed clumps and a fine-grained wood, Seabreeze Bamboo Bambusa Malingensis is a great bamboo for a quick hedge or privacy screen. This beautiful clumping bamboo emerges with white powder blooms on green canes and quickly forms a tight, straight clump perfect in a row or as a stand alone specimen.

Within your plant's first shooting season (April - September), you can expect to see 8 foot or taller culms, provided with plenty of water and nutrients.
