In terms of growth, Dendrocalamus giganteus is a clumping bamboo, which means that it grows in groups of culms that originate from a single rhizome. The rhizomes grow horizontally, producing new culms each year, while the old ones die back. With proper management, such as regular pruning and fertilization, a Dendrocalamus giganteus plantation can reach full production in just a few years. However, like most bamboo species, Dendrocalamus giganteus can also become invasive if not managed properly.

Description
A very tall, large-culmed, grayish-green bamboo, it grows in clumps consisting of a large number of closely growing culms, and typically reaches a height of 30 meters (98 feet), but one clump in Arunachal Pradesh, India reached a height of 42 meters. Under favorable conditions, it can grow up to 40 cm per day. The record for the species, 18 inches (46 centimeters) in 24 hours, was set on July 29-30 of 1903 at Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). In subtropical climates, it does not grow as tall, struggling to grow to 20 meters.

The top of the sheath is rounded. Auricles are small, equal, and crisped. The upper surface of the sheath is covered with stiff, gold and brownish hairs. The under surface is glossy, and not hairy. Sheath fall off is early.
