This new generation selection of clumping Fargesia sp., hails from the World Heritage Preserve of Jiuzhaigou in China's horticulturally rich Sichuan Province. Fargesia 'Jiuzhaigou' (pronounced "zhu-zhi-go"), which was initially thought to be a form of Fargesia nitida, has much better heat tolerance than the past selections of Fargesia nitida we've trialed. Fargesia sp. 'Jiuzhaigou' makes a 10' tall clumper with small, narrow green leaves adorning the green canes which turn a beautiful cinnamon red in their second season...brighter in better light. As the deer-resistant clumps age, the older canes eventually turn to yellow. Fargesia 'Jiuzhaigou' is a stunning bamboo that we are thrilled to make available.
