What is chusquea?
chusque is the name of the genus Poaceae or Bamboo, families and contains more than 130 plant species. These plants are usually originally from mountain forests in parts of Mexico to Chile. Unlike most bamboo plants, plants are chusquea solid inside the pots. Although culmes are usually high and straight, many species have wedged branches that decrease, which explains the common name for c. Culeou , Chilean crying plants. Each branch usually carries a linear shape for ovate leaves that are pointed and at the end. The glossy leaves move in color from medium to dark green, with some types of yellowish green leaves. c. Coronalis from the regions around the Guerrero in Mexico has very small leaves in Whorls around Culms in Tuzla.
The plant c. Some describe it as an ostrich tail, because foliage is a feather similar. BranchHigh meter from 4 to 32 inches (10 to 80 cm) long, arises alternately and almost circulate white wax knots. When the leaves die, the stems do not fall, which gives the plant a bearded view of the lower peaks. The plant can grow from 12 to 20 feet (4 to 6 m) and usually experts do not recommend it to grow containers.
smaller c. Nigricas can grow from 6 to 15 feet (about 2 to 5 m) high and generally a popular garden bamboo plant. The cluster species forming, can be expanded to a diameter of 12 feet (4 m). There are dwarf cultivars of various types of chusque
Mountaineering bamboo, C. Abietifolia is originally from the mountains in Jamaica and rarely grows wild with the exception of Jamaica and in several places in West India. The groats are very thin, diameter of up to 0.25 inches (6.3 mm). Botanists theorize that the plant blooms, carries fruit and dies. SomeRome people say the plant has a flower cycle every 33 years.
