BORINDA
BOLIANA
Height: 24 feet
Diameter: 1.5 inches
Hardiness: 10° F
One of the fastest
growing and possibly largest of the temperate clumping bamboos, with feathery
green leaves and gracefully arching canes. New shoots are pale blue and don't
clump as tightly as some of the other Borinda. Can tolerate some sun but prefers
afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. Capable of getting 20 foot tall
and wide in a mild coastal climate. Probably the most cold tolerant Borinda.
A recent import
from Sichuan, China.
