Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr': Alphonse Karr is a small statured clumping bamboo with gold canes bearing random dark green stripes. It grows with tight dense clumps having a vertical growth habit. In the Sacramento Valley and the SF Bay area it grows 12 to 20 feet tall (usually 15 feet) with canes up to 1 inch in diameter. This is probably the most common clumping bamboo used in the residential landscape. When planting Alphonse Karr next to a 6 foot fence the plants will reliably provide a dense screen of leaves above the fence line to provide privacy. Full sun is preferred and this bamboo is rated to 18 °F by the American Bamboo Society. We recommend planting each Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr' plant in the middle of a 3 foot or larger diameter circle of soil dedicated to the plant. Additional planting details applicable to this and other "Smaller Statured Clumping Bamboos" are given on our Bamboo For Privacy page on this website.
