Abstract

Moso bamboo is the most economically and ecologically important bamboo species in East Asia, especially in China, with extensive distribution and long use history. In the process of adapting to different habitats for a long time, moso bamboo has performed a series of morphological and color variations, which have high landscape and handicraft values. There are different intraspecific origins, geographic, ecological and physiological types in moso germplasm. Only intraspecific variation is included in this chapter. Up to now, about 32 forms and/or cultivars of moso bamboo, mainly found from China and Japan, rarely from North America and Europe, are recognized.
