Sasaella - PictureThis

Sasaella

Sasaella is a type of bamboo native to Japan, characterized by its dense, low-growing habit and finely textured foliage. Its leaves are typically broad and lush, contributing to a thick, green understory in forested areas. This resilience allows sasaella to thrive under the canopy of taller trees, effectively outcompeting other ground-layer plants for space and light.
