Schizostachyum glaucifolium
Also called Polynesian ʻohe
Polynesian 'ohe is an evergreen, clump-forming bamboo that can reach about 15 metres tall, grown mainly for its strong culms in wet tropical climates. It needs warmth, humidity and consistent moisture, and is best given space because its clumps spread.
Schizostachyum glaucifolium, common name Polynesian ʻohe, is a species of bamboo.
This species is native to the South-Central Pacific, from the Marquesas Islands and Society Islands in French Polynesia, as well as in the Southwestern Pacific in the Samoan Islands and Fiji. It is an introduced species in Hawaii.
