Bamboo (Fargesia denudata)

Fargesia denudata – Cold-Hardy Clumping Bamboo

Fargesia denudata is a graceful, clumping bamboo native to the mountains of central China. It is prized for its exceptional cold hardiness (to -15°F / -26°C) and non-invasive habit. The arching culms are green, maturing to yellow-green, with small, delicate leaves that give a fountain-like appearance. It grows 10–15 feet tall and thrives in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. This species is an excellent choice for northern gardens where tropical bamboos cannot survive.
