Dendrocalamus Hamiltonii bamboo is an evergreen, clump-forming bamboo with woody culms that are often very pendulous and can grow 12 – 25 metres tall. The culms are 9 – 20cm in diameter at the base, with internodes 30 – 50cm apart and walls 12 – 20mm thick[266

].
The plant is commonly harvested from the wild for local use as a food and source of materials. It is cultivated for its edible shoots in India and China, whilst it is also grown as a windbreak in tea plantations and for the multipurpose culms[317
]. Currently wild stands are endangered by over-exploitation for paper pulp 317.
