Fargesia murielae (Umbrella Bamboo)

   Photo copyright: Ned Jaquith, 2005                                    

Murielae is named for the graceful way that its culms arch outwards like an umbrella. Umbrella Bamboo is similar to Fargesia nitidia but with greenish yellow culms. It is a very hardy bamboo and thought to be the hardiest of all the bamboo plants.  Murielae grows at elevations above 10 000 feet in china. This bamboo grows in a clump and spreads very slowly.  Murielae flowers every 120 years or so and recently flowered in the 1990's so it should be another 100 or so years before it flowers again.  (New Generation)

Fountain bamboo is similar to Fargesia murielae except it has darker culms. The culms are a dark mahogany color with a bluish white powder when young. This is a great bamboo for the lazy gardener. It is tough, beautiful and clumping.  Like Murielae, Nitida flowers every 120 years or so and recently flowered so it should be another 100 or so years before it flowers again.  (New Generation)

Fargesia rufa

* Average height 9’ (Estimated West Coast Maximum Height 7 feet) * Max culm diameter .5" * Min. temp -29C * Sun or Shade * Clumping Bamboo *

Rufa is a beautiful bamboo from Sichuan Province, China, with orange-red culm sheaths that add a glow to its overall appearance.  It is an extremely hardy bamboo and one of the few hardy clumpers that can handle direct sun without leaf curl.  Being an early shooter with very strong clumping growth, Rufa is very easy to grow

* Max height 16’ (Estimated West Coast Maximum Height 12 - 14 feet) * Max culm diameter   .75" * Min. temp -23C * Sun/Shade * Clumping Bamboo *

Phyllostachys aureosulcata alata

* Max height 26’ (Estimated West Coast Maximum Height 20 feet) * Max culm diameter 2" * Min. temp -32C * Sun/Shade * Running Bamboo *

Alata is similar to to the other Phyllostachys aureosulcata's except the culm is solid green, grows larger in diameter and has more zig-zag at the base than others in the species.  This is one of the best choices for a fast hardy screen.

Phyllostachys atrovaginata (also known as congesta)

* Max height 35’ (Estimated West Coast Maximum Height 25 feet) * Max culm diameter 2.25" * Min. temp -29C * Sun/Shade * Running Bamboo *

This all green vigorous bamboo is super hardy and fast.  It is known to have survived -20F and is an excellent source of edible bamboo shoots with good taste. Unlike most bamboo’s, it will grow in a wet spot. It has unusually thick culms for it’s height. If you rub the culms at certain times of the year it smells of incense.

Phyllostachys aureosulcata spectabilis 

* Max height 26’ (Estimated West Coast Maximum Height 20 feet) * Max culm diameter 1.5" * Min. temp -32C * Sun/Shade * Running Bamboo *

P A Spectabilis Fall 98 300 dpi.JPG (84043 bytes)The culms are golden with contrasting bright green grooves. The green leaves have an occasional yellow stripe. The spectacular part is the rosy red tinting on the young culms and sun exposed old culms. The new shoots emerge with purple sheaths that show yellow internodes as the shoots elongate.  Quite showy and tropical looking for such a hardy bamboo.  Excellent choice for a screen because it is very erect and has tightly spaced culms all the way to the ground.

  Photo copyright: Ned Jaquith, 2005
Hale is a rare form of Black Bamboo that is said to be hardier than plain nigra.  For us Hale is proving to be more robust and faster to turn black.  The culms gradually turn completely jet black.  It is an elegant bamboo and the one to try if you want the best chance of having success with black bamboo in harsher climates.  5 Gallon - Previously $115.00, Now $95.00

Henon is a massive, strong growing timber bamboo here on the West Coast.  Although a nigra, the distinctive looking culms are rough to the touch and a whitish green in color.  It is the species that Phyllostachys nigra is thought to have originated from.  This bamboo is highly recommended for people who wish for a massive, hardy bamboo with good wood quality.

Phyllostachys rubromarginata

* Max height 55’ (Estimated West Coast Maximum Height 40 feet) * Max culm diameter 2.75" * Min. temp -32C * Sun/Shade * Running Bamboo *

One of the best bamboo’s for wood quality and quantity. The culms are straight, long and with little taper. It has the longest internodes of any Phyllostachys and the nodes are not very pronounced which allows for easy splitting. In a test in Alabama of dozens of bamboo’s this one was judged most productive in wood production. Rubromarginata refers to inconspicuous red bristles. This vigorous Bamboo is noted for its resistance to wind. A good bamboo for exposed sights and great for eating.
