Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, commonly known as Giant Bamboo, Hamilton’s Bamboo, or Kala Baans, is one of the largest tropical clumping bamboos native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is prized for its impressive height, fast growth, and edible young shoots, making it highly valuable for agriculture, construction, furniture-making, and ornamental landscaping.

Unlike running bamboo species, D. hamiltonii grows in tight, non-invasive clumps, forming a tall, elegant, and dense grove. It’s ideal for windbreaks, privacy screens, and large-scale bamboo farming due to its vigorous growth and economic utility.
