Bamboo 'Asper' (Bambusa asper)
Giant Edible Bamboo for Gourmet Shoots, Shade, and Sustainability
Asper Bamboo is a towering, tropical bamboo species known for producing some of the largest and most delicious edible shoots in the world. Native to Southeast Asia, this clumping bamboo is a staple in Asian cuisine and agroforestry systems—valued for its fast growth, culinary-grade shoots, and strong, straight culms used in building and crafts.
Asper can grow up to 100 feet tall with thick culms reaching 8 inches in diameter, making it one of the largest clumping bamboos on the planet. But don’t let its size fool you—it’s a non-invasive, manageable grower that forms tight clumps and thrives in warm, sunny climates. Perfect for privacy screens, windbreaks, shade, or creating a canopy layer in food forests.
Its young shoots emerge in spring and are highly prized for their tender, nutty flavor. When harvested early and properly prepared, they're excellent in stir-fries, soups, stews, and pickled recipes.
At Sow Exotic, our Asper Bamboo plants ship in 1-gallon biodegradable coconut coir pots, ready to plant with zero plastic waste.
