We have found Fargesia robusta to be one of the stars of our trials for heat-tolerant clumping...read my catalog...clumping bamboos. Our 5-year-old clumps are now 9' tall on their way to 15'. The upright, arching stems make a superb specimen clump, or if you can afford enough...a great green screen. We have seen conflicting reports of winter hardiness from 0 degrees to -15 degrees F. We can attest to the 0 degrees F, but will err on the side of caution until we hear back from those of you in the arctic zones. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
