Hedge Bamboo 'Fernleaf' (Bambusa multiplex 'Fernleaf')

Hedge Bamboo 'Fernleaf' – Delicate Foliage for Dense Screens

Bambusa multiplex 'Fernleaf' is a popular cultivar of Hedge Bamboo, prized for its exceptionally small, delicate leaves that create a soft, fern-like texture. This clumping bamboo forms dense, upright thickets 10–20 feet tall, ideal for privacy screens, hedges, or windbreaks in subtropical climates. It tolerates pruning well and can be maintained at lower heights. 'Fernleaf' prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is one of the most cold-hardy Bambusa species, surviving brief dips to around 15°F (-9°C).
