Description
Pack of 15 Fresh seeds of Fargesia yunnanensis (also known as Borinda yunnanensis) – with full instructions for germination
A very rare, clumping and non-invasive large bamboo, growing to 5-9 m (16-30 ft) in height within temperate Europe
Native to montane forests between 1700 and 2500 m in southwestern Sichuan and Yunnan, China
Shoots and culms vary through growth from light-green to dark-green with shades of grey-blue. Leaves are long, narrow and weeping
Fully hardy to -20ºC (-4ºF) – keep on the drier side during frosts
Bamboo seeds are not always available due to worldwide shortages of most species; this is because they rarely flower, sometimes every 30 to even 100 years (called gregarious flowering)
