The Dwarf Buddha Belly can grow to heights between 12 to 15 feet tall and can withstand temperatures around 30 degrees Fahrenheit making it one of the shortest and cold sensitive of the bunch. The Dwarf Buddha Belly is fast growing. It will grow to full maturity within three years. It has 3 inch “knotted culms”. Canes or Culms may suffer frost damage at 27 degrees Fahrenheit but all will not be lost the roots will not be hurt. When the weather warms new thicker and taller shoots will appear. This bamboo is commonly found in tropical regions and in the United States does very well in Southern California & Florida.

The lower half of the Dwarf Buddha Belly is branchless with very bizarre shortened inflated internodes. This bamboo makes a wonderful specimen tree.
