Shibataea kumasaca Drought Tolerant It spreads to form coloniesShibataea kumasaca is the most civilized of bamboos, a low, dense, evergreen kind grown for tidy structure rather than height. The short, broad, oval leaves are unusual for a bamboo, closer to the foliage of ruscus or a small shrub than to the fine blades most bamboos wear, which is why the plant goes by ruscus leaf bamboo. Growing to about four or five feet, the canes zigzag gently from node to node, giving a second common name, zig zag bamboo.
