Rare River Cane In My Yard #tnnursery #rareplants #nativeplants #rivercane #bamboo

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I'm showing you some river cane, which is also known as canebrake bamboo. This is the bamboo we sell right here, and it is very rare in North America because of habitat loss. It was one of the most used plants by Native Americans. It's still found a little bit through waterways, near waterways. It loves water. They get absolutely huge. They can get as big around as your leg. My uncle has some in his yard and they're really, really big and they're nearly probably 40-foot tall. Native Americans used it for tools, medicines, crafts like baskets. It supports many different varieties of wildlife. If you have a water garden or a pond and you're wanting shade for it, this is the way to go because they will really enjoy enjoyed the wet ground near it. It's not like golden bamboo, the Asian versions. This is native river cane.
