BORINDA ANGUSTISSIMA

Height: 12 to 20 feet
Hardiness: 15° F

        Collected by James Waddick in 1989 from a giant panda preserve in Wolong, Sichuan, China at approximately 4,000 feet altitude. Perhaps the most sought after Borinda with gently weeping half inch culms which are purple-green with white powder when young. Mature branches are deep magenta with small, delicate leaves. Wants a sheltered area with afternoon shade.
