Chusquea coronalis, commonly known as Mexican Climbing Bamboo, is an evergreen perennial grass native to the understory of mountain forests and cloud forests in Central America. It typically grows to a height of 7-12 feet (2.1-3.7 meters) and a width of 7-10 feet (2.1-3 meters). This species forms dense clumps with slender, arching culms and delicate foliage, creating a graceful appearance. The plant does not actually climb but may lean on or intertwine with other vegetation. It is not a true bamboo but is bamboo-like in growth form and habit.

Mexican Climbing Bamboo is appreciated for its lush, tropical appearance and its ability to create a dense screen or backdrop in gardens. It is often used in ornamental plantings, as a privacy screen, and in tropical-themed landscapes. While it prefers consistent moisture, it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. It thrives in well-draining soils and can adapt to a range of light conditions from full sun to part shade. There are no major pest or disease problems associated with Chusquea coronalis, but it may require occasional thinning to maintain its shape and prevent overcrowding.CC BY-SA 4.0
