Fargesia robusta 'Wolong' is another clumping gem that hails from the high mountains of Sichuan, China. Fargesia 'Wolong' boasts larger than normal, deer-resistant foliage than on typical Fargesia robusta, which consequently provides a more tropical feel in the garden. Despite the fact that Fargesia robusta 'Wolong' is often touted as heat-sensitive, we have not found this to be the case with our 2008-planted clump, which receives afternoon sun during our hot, humid summers. Our 15 year old clumps are now 7' tall x 9' wide...a truly splendid clumping bamboo.
