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. The height of the stems under ideal conditions is about 10 ft. Propagation is through rhizome offsets and rooted culm (stem) cuttings. Micro propagation too is feasible through axillary bud proliferation.

Distribution

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).^{[2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]}
