Bambusa textilis 'Dwarf' (Dwarf Weaver's Bamboo, Bambusa textilis 'RG Dwarf'): An attractive clumping bamboo with dark green canes. Makes an excellent privacy screen. Cold tolerant down to 18 degrees F. A cultivar of Bambusa textilis that is shorter and less erect than Bambusa textilis 'Gracilis'. One can expect The Textilis Dwarf to grow about 15 feet tall in the SF Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley. This bamboo is from a Bambusa textilis seedling that Roy Works sold to Rockledge Gardens in Florida and they have been selling it for a good number of years as a dwarf version of textilis and it has remained about half size of regular Bambusa textilis. The American Bamboo Society offically designates this bamboo as Bambusa textilis 'Dwarf' which is what we call it. Other nurseries have implemented common names including "Bambusa textilis 'RG Dwarf'", "Bambusa textilis Dwarf Graceful Bamboo", "Weaver's Bamboo Dwarf", Dwarf Weaver's Bamboo, Textilis Dwarf, and probably other names as well.

Full sun is preferred and this bamboo is rated to 18 °F by the American Bamboo Society. When planting textilis Dwarf next to a 6 foot fence the plants will reliably provide a dense screen of leaves above the fence line to provide privacy. We recommend planting each plant in the middle of a 3 foot or larger diameter circle of soil dedicated to the plant.
