Kikkōchiku Tortoiseshell Bamboo
A variant of mōsō bamboo, named for its tortoiseshell ( mōsō )-like appearance, this type grows well between nodes on the sides with branches and poorly on the sides without. The difference in growth causes alternate internodal bulging and deformity in the culm up to 6ft. to 10ft.
