1、 The difference between the two

Xiandong tortoise backed bamboo is also called porous tortoise backed bamboo. Compared with ordinary tortoise backed bamboo, this variety is smaller, and the leaves are full-bodied, but there are holes in it, while the leaf edges of ordinary species are often notched. In addition, their growth habits are also very similar. However, the former is more resistant to high temperature and shade, and is afraid of exposure. The latter has better cold resistance, but the difference is not large.

2、 Are they of the same genus

Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys pubescens are perennial herbs of the same family and genus. They both belong to Phyllostachys pubescens of Araceae, and both are produced in Mexico. Due to their unique ornamental nature, they are introduced and cultivated all over the world. Because the former is smaller, it is often decorated on the windowsill or table, while the latter is more suitable on the floor of the living room.
