Bambusa multiplex is a species of bamboo native to China (provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan), Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and northern Indochina.

It is also naturalized in Japan, Iraq, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Pakistan, parts of South America, the West Indies, and the southeastern United States (Florida, Georgia, Alabama).

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] B. multiplex forms a medium-sized clump with slender culms (stems) and dense foliage.

This bamboo is suitable for hedges and live fences since the stems and foliage form a dense growth that create an effective barrier.

Micro propagation too is feasible through axillary bud proliferation.
