Fargesia Robusta ‘Wolong’

‘Wolong’ has larger leaves than regular F. robusta which lend this clumping bamboo a tropical look. Shiny dark green foliage. Branch sheaths often have hints of orange and red. New shoots are hairy and rusty red upon emergence from the ground in early spring. It is more sun tolerant than most other Fargesia, but ideally would prefer protection from the hot afternoon sun. Native climate to the high elevation mountains of Sichuan, China. Ht 10ft+. This rare bamboo makes a fine garden specimen or privacy screen, without the unwanted spreading habits of the taller Phyllostachys.Any reasonable soil.
