Borinda boliana (Himalayan Blue Mountain Bamboo)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7-8, at least 600" tall Origin: China

NEW! We have longed for hardy clumping bamboo of Sasquatch proportions, and thanks to Jackie Heinricher at Boo-Shoot Gardens, we have it. Our 1-year-old clumps of Borinda boliana have already reached 6' tall, while 3-year-old clumps have reached 25' tall with .5-1.0" arching blue-green culms. Mature plants should top out at 50' tall, so don't plant these under power lines or airline flight paths. Plants in the ground have thrived through 0 degrees F as well as 3 consecutive weeks of 100 degrees F+ heat and humidity in full sun. We are ecstatic about this new bamboo...blue marlin-sized fishing poles, biomass fuel potential, and a quick way to hide your untidy neighbors! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
