Fargesia murielae

An evergreen bamboo, the tall and slender yellow canes of Fargesia murielae make an enchanting noise when moving in a breeze. Whilst growing up to 400cm high this is a relatively non-invasive bamboo spreading up to a maximum of 150cm when fully grown. Some shelter is beneficial for F. muriela but other than this it is unfussy in its location and aspect. F. murielae is perfect for tropical and architectural planting screens but is a faultless choice for hedging and screening
