They have thick canes and lance-shaped, downy or bristly leaf-blades. In their native regions, these huge bamboos are used in the construction industry; the hollowed stems are used in irrigation systems and to make paper pulp. They are suitable for specimen plantings or may be used for making a bamboo grove. In frost-prone areas, they are sometimes grown in a warm greenhouse or in interior landscapes in a public space.
