Description
Pack of 15 Fresh seeds of Fargesia yuanjiangensis (syn. Borinda yuanjiangensis) the Yuanjiang Bamboo – with full instructions for germination.
Yuanjiang Bamboo is a perennial, clumping (non-invasive) bamboo species, native to the Yunnan Province of China, that typically grows in dense, attractive clumping formations. Growing to 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) in height within temperate Europe, it can be used as an ornamental specimen plant, privacy screen, or hedge. The dense foliage provides good privacy and can act as a windbreak.
Its smooth culms, 1-2 cm in diameter, are primarily green, while the sheaths on young culms can show a reddish-purple or maroon hue that transitions to tan or light brown as they age.
It's leaves, 10-20 cm in length, are narrow and lanceolate in shape, which have a deep green colour and create a dense canopy, providing an attractive visual display. Fully hardy to -20ºC (-4ºF) – keep on the drier side during frosts.
Bamboo seeds are not always available due to worldwide shortages of most species; this is because they rarely flower, sometimes every 30 to even 100 years (called gregarious flowering).
